this is not your stupid romance novel


although you hear


the sugar coating


i'm giving you gold


but you can't see through the cover


and you don't know how to read.


this is not your stupid birthday gift


wrapped in shiny paper and golden tickets


with silk and satin bows


an empty box that's left for you to fill


with whatever you wish,


i'm giving you choice.


this is not your average space between the seconds


where there are gaps


i put memories you didn't know you'd remember


until they were all you had of me,


and now you can watch my eyes


when there's a world between us.


this is not your average love


this is me.
