If they told me that I had to write, A long list of all the things I love about You, I would first need a great sheet of the finest paper, Made from the silk spun from the rarest butterfly in the world, I would need ink, and so much of it, it would fill a vat made of pearl lustre, It would be no ordinary ink, It would be drawn from the still beating hearts of Golden Finches taken but a drop from each. That they may not miss it. My pen would need a nib made from honeydew and cedar wood, hand polished for a thousand years, that my ink may flow unhindered from its cusp.

And then,

Once all was assembled I would write in swooping lines of gossamer thread,

....there simply are not the words I seek........

....save for your sweet name........

.....Catherine.
