With compliments

Our prompt today is to write a poem, which compliments a person, place, or thing we love, praising "it in the most effusive way" with "over-the-top compliments." I don't hand out compliments unless I mean them and I feel awkward receiving them, but let's see how this goes...It's late, so this time I'm really going to try my best to keep it short.

If you were

If you were a book,

I'd read you

If you were a film,

I'd watch and re-watch you

If you were music,

I'd play you on repeat

If you were streets,

I'd get lost in you

But I can only hold you
