How big?

Bigger than a football-- No,
that's not right. I meant, the 'field'---
'Bigger than a football field.' Or maybe
the Amazon Rain forest. Or all seven continents
combined. Or perhaps the Earth's circumference.

-No, no. 'Still doesn't sound quite right.

Perhaps the size of the universe? Oh, but
just how big is the universe?

Hmm...

But then again, that's the thing; See, the vastness
is immeasurable. I love you
so much that no scale can determine it
exactly; so much that I find it funny
and excruciating at the same time.

-Ah, I think that's it!

Despite the lack of scale, I may have found
the right words to describe it;
my love for you: "Painfully Ridiculous".

-A.M.S.
Yeah, you know, when you like something so much to the point of absurdity? Like addiction to coffee, or skittles, or cheese, or oreo's.

Hello, 
I recently used your title here: papernation.deviantart.com/art…, in a title poem. I've given you credit and linked you.

Thank you :heart:
