It started with a smile

Sealed with a wink

Oh, to be succinct

How do you put all your love into one day

When it’s as broad as a rainbow

More than just different shades of gray

How do you say it all

When the words begin to fall apart

    This is so beautifully written! The way you capture the complexity of love and the struggle to express it is so relatable. It’s simple yet profound—love that feels bigger than words can convey. I love it!
