Love You Like

I love you like I'd love a black walnut. You're so rare I can't eat you. I'll put you in my pocket and take you with me when I go in town I'll feel your crinkles and your wrinkles, But nobody will know. I love you like I'd love a comice pear. I'll put you in a golden bowl. I'll let the sun shine on you, Till you are ripe. I'll put you in my bag, Take you to a meadow of buttercups And devour you. And nobody will know. I love you like I'd love a flower. I'll give you my best vase. I'll stand it in the window. Then I'll look at you all day With my peripheral and my central vision, Till your pattern is embedded in my brain. I'll sleep well and dream of you all night. When I'll wake up ,I'll remember everything
