He loves me like he’s picking me up from the airport after a long trip

He loves me like I invented Choco Tacos

He loves me like I’m a royal straight flush

He loves me like Johnny Mnemonic loves room service

He loves me like I’m a sip of Glenlivet

He loves me

I love him like he’s the exclamation mark at the end of every sentence!

I love him like he’s bahn mi with no cilantro

I love him like he’s the last few words I need when I’m writing a poem

I love him like Cher Horowitz loves saying “as if”

I love him like he’s the buzzing ink on a brand new tattoo

I love him

We love each other like our first dance at junior prom

We love each other like the soft sigh of a rescue dog finally feeling safe

We love each other like red lipstick loves a white collar

We love each other like the sound of our key unlocking the door to our new home

We love each other like “I Only Have Eyes for You” by The Flamingoes

This is how we love
