   what does love smell, sound, look, feel, and taste like to you? valentine's day: sweet or cheesy? why? think of the person you were this time last year. what would you tell them? who would you choose to convincingly be you freaky friday style for 24 hours? the last message you sent is now your response to someone declaring their love for you. what is it?

love looks like red eye flights and sleepless nights. it looks like a smile, a bout of eye contact that lasts a beat too long, a kind gesture between friends. love smells like freshly picked flowers and warm french fries straight out of the fryer. it smells like freshly popped popcorn, your favourite candle being lit for the very first time, like washed linens. love sounds like hours of loud karaoke and even louder laughter. it sounds like the birds chirping when you wake up without an alarm, like an answered facetime call, like the bark of your favourite furry friend. love feels like cool sheets against your skin on a hot day and a warm blanket in the bitter cold. it feels like a hand upon the small of your back, like the goosebumps that appear over a shared smile, like finally taking your shoes off when your feet are aching. love tastes like expensive whiskey and spearmint. it tastes like that first sip of coffee in the morning, like those nights you eat dessert before dinner, like that first bite of cheesecake. |
