I love watching documentaries about cults

and recommending them to other people

I love receiving flattering words that assure me

that I am well-spoken, witty, and attractive

I love eating ice cream with crunchy mix-ins

right out of the pint, alone, all by myself

I love orchestra seats, two rows from the stage

to see musicals I’ve heard the soundtrack for

I love proving an arrogant person wrong

and a polite, humble person right

I love re-watching shows to introduce them

to someone watching them for the first time

I love fancy tasting menus and omakase

getting to try a little bit of everything as curated

I love when they play the outtakes in the credits

seeing everyone having fun while working

I love writing pretty words in phrases

of similar number of syllables and length

You know, you are the love of my life, I say

lying next to you in bed, one quiet night

when the world is, for a moment, empty

and I hope you know what that means

to a girl who loves so, so much.
