Matter, (anything that has weight & can occupy space)
 
I love you like a cherry blossom tree 
spreads her petals in spring. I love you like a 
drowning man grabs for air. What I mean is 
that I love you like a flower 
waiting outside a window for 
one last hug from the sun. I love you 
like an expensive simile. I love you 
with the strength of a gazillion horses. 
I love you like my wildest 
imagination: that fairies might be 
watching us. I love you as far as the 
wind goes. 
& what is love, if not a 
temporary vessel for 
gathering falling leaves.
