This Made Me Think of Us

From Emily Bird, the poet who went viral on Instagram for writing exactly what her followers couldn't say themselves, comes This Made Me Think of Us.

These aren't couples poems about falling in love. They're about staying in it. The way they hold you at your worst and love you anyway. Perfect for couples who have built something real, and want to feel it all over again.

The couples gift they'll never forget: Perfect for marriage anniversaries, weddings, Valentine's Day, or any moment you want them to feel seen. Tuck in a photo, annotate your favourite lines, make it entirely yours - then watch their face light up when they read it.

Raw, romantic and relatable: Open to any page and find the words you've been reaching for: about unconditional love, confessions, gratitude, your future together, and about what it means to be truly chosen.

Your next quiet evening sorted: Find a quiet evening together and read one out loud. These are the kind of simple, heartfelt poems that hit home in all the right ways, and might even make them cry (the good kind).

my love for you isn't something i can lose.
it's part of me, given freely to you.
no conditions, no expectations.
just a promise: i will be there next to you.

if you need to stay up all night crying,
i will be there next to you,
and if tomorrow you have a bad day,
i will be there next to you. just tell me,
and i will be there, next to you.
