13: the way you look at me when you think I’m not looking.
12: how you worry about what the demons inside my brain lie to me about (& how you wish you could have tea with them so we could make peace).
11: how you perform alchemy & transform tears into laughter.
10: the concerned look glittering in your eyes when I tell you about the headaches.
9: the way you make the world vanish when I’m in your embrace & you quell the fears.
8: the butterflies that dance in my stomach when your lips brush against mine and your hands tangle through my hair.
7: the sound of your voice feels like home.
6: the way you never realized you were a poet or a songwriter but you write me poetry and songs with your tongue & pen.
5: how this list is only 13 reasons why, but I write you maddeningly long love letters and shove them away in secret crevices, wondering if you dream of me.
4: that glow in your eyes and how your smile transforms when you think of me.
3: the fact that every love poem sounds like a cliché until I think of you, then it becomes brand new.
2: you, you, you.
1: what we are/what we could be/the endless possibilities.

I love the thirteen reasons dear Isabelle. I have become a old man and I still want to dance with sea, be adored and love in someone eyes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Dear Isabelle, you are my muse for this September day.

You are so, so kind. I honestly worried that this poem was a bit lackluster, and hearing you say these things has made me feel so much better about it.

It was wonderful dear Isabelle. I will write a similar poem with the old man eyes. I liked the ideal of seeking, remembering things we needed and wanted. You did what a writer, suppose to do. Make the reader think.
