Love Box

Now if spatial limitations were put aside,
and if had a beautiful box,
worthy enough for its contents,
i would fill it with my love.

If I had a box I would fill it with my love,
and you the receiver,
would have to put at least
multiple
rubber bands to keep it closed.
And while we're hypothetical,
there must be no surprise in the variety enclosed.
For not only are there notes and pictures and letters,
but there are
sighs of relief
and
gasps of wonder
and
tears of joy
and all these things will be about the love.
There will be
soft exhales
and
scented perfume
and the cups of tea we shared.
I have yet to measure these,
but it should go without saying that they fit.
They fit with my embrace
and rosy cheeks
and throw blankets.
OH
and I'm also going to put words in there
but I won't write them down because they'll have more of an impact
if they just explode out of the box and hover
They are:
socks,cliffs,sand,carpets,highways
to name a few.
Not to mention the cliché
kisses
that you will feel.

If I had a box
I would fill it with my love
and me, the sender,
would fill it to the brim
with everything to sustain anything
