There will be days like this;
She will hold you hostage by the curve of her smile
She will say “I love you” and mean it with her every breathe;
Like a sufi poet
Like the walls of a cave giving in
she will break at your lips
She will lay her soul at the tip of your tongue so you know,
that girls like her love like open seas, boundless
Their veins are gushing tides
Their presence heavy with the scent of sea-salt and eight continents
So do not assume that you can conquer her
waistline at the tip of your fingers
Ships have been wrecked here.
