Fine print

She doesn’t like flowers because she hates them dying

so if you have to, buy her some succulents instead.

The only benefit she sees in the showers is the space they give her

to organize swimming lessons in her mind,

so you should know that he speaks most eloquently when his hair is still wet.

He remembers anniversaries that may seem insignificant,

but it also won’t forget the dates that are important to you.

He leaves his phone bare and doesn’t plug it straight down

when they crave silence and control.

Her submissions are almost always unnecessarily long.

•

sometimes her stalk sets with the sun

but the last days he wakes up with a full heart.

•

He loves storms.

still,

don’t take it tête-à-tête if he refuses the tent.

Consider this your warning that he breaks the windows when it snows

and drives with the sunroof open at the first hint of spring.

•

You learn to hear the fear in her voice

and ugly as he ponders the look on her face.

He knows his deepest concerns, like the all-too-familiar paths

and sometimes needs reminding not to live there too long.

•

She can be a bit violent.

•

He loves fiercely;

feels deeply;

he cares bravely;

she cries loudly;

gives wholeheartedly.

•

Not only does she run after what she wants, but she also sprints.

her heart doesn’t break, it breaks.

• He will cry until he can no longer see
  
  and she will smile until her cheeks harden.
  
  •
  
  She has her demons and has lived through her fair share of dark days and darker nights,
  
  
  for how deeply he knows pain, anguish, and despair,
  
  he knows joy, gratitude and compassion even more deeply.
  
  •
  
  There is no need to repair it.
  
  Yes, it can handle handling with a little extra care,
  
  but what you allow in return is to be loved completely and unconditionally;
  
  to be truly seen and always heard.
  
  •
  
  She chose day by day
  
  stay through it all;
  
  she promised again and again
  
  so that she no longer gives up on herself.
  
  •
  
  So don’t worry.
  
  •
  
  Maybe she needs comfort that you won’t leave her,
  
  but I can say for sure
  
  that if you could know her for a thousand sequels
  
  she would never leave you
  
  •
  
  She can be a bit violent.
  
  But it is her intensity that makes her beautiful.
