I Tried Explaining You To Someone

I tried explaining you to someone

But I can't describe a smile July sunsets will never touch
I can't illustrate my enthusiasm no longer belongs to me, it's been stolen

By the way, the best thieves wear high heels

I tried explaining you to someone

So I told them the 8th wonder of the world lives in a midwest town with caramel skin and smells like wonderland
I told them there's a petition to put your name in the dictionary because you're the only girl with oceans for eyes
I told them I would thank you for educating me about the past tense of love and teaching me the most important three words:

Everything
Is
Temporary

I just thought we could be the exception

And I heard if you stare at anything enough it loses it's perfection but they've never seen you in a sun dress

I tried explaining you to someone

I told them look for the girl with necklaces made from hearts and worn like trophies
I told them imagine the most fantastic storm with electricity and heat and wonderful chaos

I tried explaining you to someone

This actually got me so emotional, I can't stop reading it. Should be straight out of an English textbook, fantastic.

Such a lovely piece! I love the feel and flow. To try to describe one who has so much beauty seen through your own eyes is difficult yet you did fabulously 😊
