Simile: in one line he compares her smile to the pacific ocean. In another line he compares her eyelashes to violin strings that play symphonies every time she blinked. He also compares true love to a model before she's airbrushed. He does this to just express his feelings for this girl.
Allusion: In this line "I know this sounds strange but every now and then I pray that God somehow turns you back in to one of my ribs just so that I would never have to spend an entire day without you" he is making a reference to Adam and Eve.
