If you struggle to love her, write her down.
You can’t look that closely without a little love.
If you struggle with how much you love her, put the pen
away.
Because once you’ve carved her presence into words,
outlined the curve of her knuckles on the chair,
and named the peculiar pressure of her laugh;
once you’ve ransacked every simile you know
to find the one that suits her eyes precisely…
well, you’re done for then.
