NO NO guys that's not what this poem is about!! The poem is about how it doesn't matter what you do in your life... just who you do with it. The most simple things in life, like drinking a coke, can be an incredible experience if you do it with the right person. The artists tried so hard to create beautiful paintings and sculptures, but they never got the right person to be in their pieces. And that's all that matters in an experience; the person, not what you did.

I can't even remember how many times I have listened to this, I could listen to it over and over and never get tired of it, beautiful, I adore it.

@elrockerchido He's telling the person he loves that they are more beautiful than the most beautiful artworks in the world, that doing simple things with them - like having a coke - feels more profound than the greatest art.

@elrockerchido It's simply someone trying to say how much he loves someone. And how paintings seem to have no faces, because he's seen that person. But it's honest. It doesn't say anything about forever, and it's not extremely romantic, it's just honest. It's life written down, that's why it's so incredible :)
