With a hand on your heart.

Hey guys,

I'm back and I'm really looking forward to this contest
and all of your fantastic work.

This is what I want:

Two poems or prose;
the first about the person you love
and the second being the things
you've come to realize about this person.

I want to know the little things you like
about them, the things that got you hooked.
I want to know why you're in love with the
exact shade of her eyes and why when you kiss
him it's just like striking a match against
the pavement.

I challenge you to use metaphors and similes.
Show me, don't just tell me.

I'd like each poem/prose to be a maximum
of twenty lines each, but I'm lenient.

Example of the format:

I.

Your first poem
goes here.

II.

Then your second
basically goes here.

Eh, you can use numbers, letters, roman numerals and whatnot.

Reserves are fine- please though, get back to them.

Thanks for being patient. I was a bit preoccupied this week.
