Happy Valentine’s Day! First of all, I’m actually not that much into Valentine’s Day. It needs some explanation though, because what I mean is that I’m not into this whole hype. The glittery hearts, the big teddy bears (..and in the end you never really know what to do with them) and all the crazy stuff the shops have to offer. For me Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love. Isn’t it nice that there is a special day in the year dedicated to love? I think it is! Love is what the world needs, now more than ever before. That doesn’t mean that you will only have to tell your lover and loved ones you love them on the 14th of February. I just think that it’s nice, in honour of love, to tell the people you love, that you do. Send them a card with a nice message or just a simple text message. Just to let them know that on this day of love, they’re the one you’re thinking of.
And second.. Yes, I’m crazy in love! I’m sure that the ones who follow me on Instagram know. There is no doubt! Hehe.. I feel so lucky to have found my boyfriend. I never met someone before where it feels this right. He’s my soulmate.. and I dare to say that he is the love of my life and I never said that about anybody else. That is quite deep then, isn’t it? We just feel so right, so complete and so meant to be. He is so perfect! We have a lot in common and he then always tells me ‘we’re in the same boat’. What inspired me to write this poem. The words come from the bottom of my heart as I want it to work out with him so much.
LOVE BOAT
We are in the same boat since the day we met,
we don’t know what’s going to happen next yet.
Maybe we will get attacked by monsters of the sea,
but we will fight back until we are worry free.
Maybe we will hit an iceberg and the boat breaks,
but we will always fix it together, whatever it takes.
Maybe we will forget to steer and it gets stuck on a reef,
but we will keep pushing until we sail again, that I believe.
Maybe at one point the boat will go really really fast,
because we forgot to check the weather forecast.
Maybe the boat will slow down for just a little while,
but it will be fine, I’m sure we will make it, mile after mile.
Maybe the boat will meet heavy storms, don’t you think?
but our boat is the best boat there is and it will never sink.
Yes, most of the time it will be stable and gently float,
it’s the safest boat there is, cuz it’s a crazy in love boat.
Happy Valentine’s Day baby! ❤ You’re the love of my life!
X ..your girl!

As you might have noticed (if you follow me on Instagram), I’m in loooove! Last November I met the nicest guy ever and now we’re together, what makes me so happy. I was single for the last 2 years, after coming out of a very difficult relationship. I never thought I would be in a relationship again, but I couldn’t ignore these feelings. He’s so amazing! We had to miss each other for 25 days over Christmas, as we were both on holiday and that’s when I wrote this poem. Missing somebody is not nice, but being able to miss somebody is a good sign. It means you care and you want to be with that person.
Do you know that feeling when you hear the first 30 seconds of a song and you know it’ll be one of your favourite songs?! When I heard the song ‘I hate you, I love you’ from ‘Gnash’ on the radio for the first time I instantly started to love that song. It gave me inspiration to write this poem. What also inspired me is that so many people (my age or even older) are still all about clubbing, drinking and enjoying the nightlife. I never liked that and never did clubbing myself and I never will. It’s just not for me. Sometimes it’s a shame if I meet a very nice person, but he’s all about going out in the weekend. Call me boring, but I just rather stay at home with a good book, hot tea and a bar of chocolate.. haha!
One day I was, in my opinion, in front of the most beautiful building of Paris: the Sacre Coeur. I was enjoying the last sun rays of this amazing city, as I was omw to the train station to go back home. Paris is the city of love and I can’t agree more as this poem came to me whilst sitting there on the stairs, after having lovely, inspirational days. Nothing inspires me more than going to unfamiliar places by myself. So even though I was completely alone (with another 4574087502 tourists) this poem of love, desire and attraction came to me, right there.
Before reading it, I have to tell you that this isn’t just a normal poem. You can read it in 2 ways. You can just read it from top to bottom, probably making you feel curious and maybe even confused, but hopefully inspired. It’ll all make more sense though, if you read only the first sentences of all the verses. Then after you read only the second sentences of the verses and last but not least, all the third sentences of all the verses. Give it a go..
This is quite a personal post, as I wrote this poem after I went through a very difficult time. It was very hard being in the middle of it and to eventually find myself again, but I got back stronger than ever. It taught me that you have to be thankful for everything what happens in your life. Positive or negative.
Did you like my poem? Did you maybe go through a similar struggle? Or do you have any questions.. please leave a comment or if you want, you can always send me a personal message! Thank you! X
