love is like

a poem

By Scott HoughtonPublished 4 years ago 2 min read

love is like a new pair of polarized sunglasses

a window of clarity

placed in front of your eyeballs

allows you to see every single color the world has to offer

you begin to see things like you’ve never seen them before

turning your world from a boring gray expanse of pain and distress

into something truly

beautiful

love is like drinking hot chocolate on a cold winter day

you know

those days that the temperature drops to an arctic level cold

your whole body aches

and you are just straight up

frozen

but you sip the warmest of liquids

and you feel it flow through every part of your entire body

until you un-thaw

and happiness is restored

love is like dancing hard at a night club

you’re sweaty

you’re tired

but it’s just too freakin fun to stop

so you keep doing it

you don’t care about how tired it’s making you

because you’re distracted by

pure

unadulterated

joy

love is like watching vine compilations on YouTube until 3am even though my name is trey and i have a basketball game tomorrow

and you laugh as hard as you possibly can

at all the same jokes that you’ve heard a thousand times before

not because you are forced to

but because you genuinely find them hilarious

over

and over

and over again

love is like reading a donald trump tweet

confused

you look back at all the seemingly impossible events

that led you to this exact point in your life

and you can’t help

but smile

and shake your head

because it’s pretty insane

love is like performing a love poem in front of a ton of people

with a complete disregard to the eye rolls and groans

of a society suffocated by sappy love-birds

and i know

i get it

it’s annoying

but it’s finally my turn

and i’m definitely going to take advantage of it

so suck it

love is like finding the girl of your dreams

the girl you’ve been looking for your whole life

the girl that makes you happier than anything else in the entire world

the girl that pushes you to pursue your dreams

the girl that sometimes snorts when she laughs which is something you never thought you’d think is cute but turns out when she does it, it actually is cute

the girl that said yes

to a guy like me

love is like

the best thing
