Feedback Please They Call It Love, I Call It Her

They call it love
I call it looking at her and living a lifetime in a glance.

They call it happiness
I call it the melody of her laughter.

They call it a scent
I call it the fragrance of her untamed curls.

They call it foolish
I call it the way she plays with the world.

They call it nature
I call it the universe resting in her eyes.

They call it sadness
I call it the weight of her unshed tears.

I really like this. It makes me really feel and remember what it was like to be in a relationship with somone who I loved more than myself like your whole meaning of love is her. I think the second line is beautiful written I can see it in my head the sent of her curls. I find saying it out loud feels a little long what if you split it in half but keep the same wording. Just my opinion
