A Final [for English] [but me, too]

The Spots of a Leopard
How many fireflies does it take
To fill a mason jar?
I don’t have any fireflies
I don’t have any jars
But how many, hypothetically?

How many stars could you count
In only one hour?
I don’t have the eyes
I don’t have the time
But how many, hypothetically?

How many pages would it take
To fill up a life?
I don’t have the books
I don’t have the days
But how many, hypothetically?

How many hours does it take
To love and let go?
I don’t have the chances
I don’t have the patience
But how many, hypothetically?

And How much love does it take
To fill up a heart?
Literally,
It stays the same size,
Theoretically,
It’ll never stop growing,
How does it fit?
Hypothetically,
How will
It
Fit?

In other words,

Nothing can always be easy,

and I still love you.

So that's hilarious.


love always, laura elizabeth.
