that I am in love with him --


who holds me captive?

His eyes
Meet mine,
And they sparkle.
Light the night sky.
They build the days I look forward to.
Deep ocean blue,
When we swim so deep
That blue turns to green.
A beautiful pool
Of dark blue,
Mixed in with hazel and
Patches of green.
They look at me.
And inside i want to scream,
But outside i smile back at him,
As he smiles at me.
And he looks with such care,
And caution.
Love, and passion.
Sometimes, when im sad.
He gives this look,
Of sorrow and empathy.
True love and understanding.
Sometimes,
his eyes say
‘I love you’
When they look into mine.
And with not just my eyes,
But my voice
I will tell him,
‘I love you, too’.

I'm so in love,
That I feel that I could fly.
I'm so in love,
That I feel that I could die.
Right here and right now,
I'm about to pass out.

I never knew,
I never thought,
That I could ever feel like that.
I'm so in love;
It's not that bad,
To finally not be so sad.

I'm flying,
And I'm finally not falling.
I'm so in love,
And glad that I'm not crying.

It's new,
It's weird,
I'm so in love;
I never felt like this,
Electrocuted at every kiss.

Happy tears,
Happy days,
I'm so in love;
How did you do this ?

Is this normal?
Is this real?
Am I really allowed to feel...
So in love?
Love....

so tell me, are cold and heat --


the symptoms of Love?

I found that I dislike sweet things
To save my tolerance for you
And your self obsessed syrup of supremacy

A love letter in milk
Raspberries
Ice and sugar

A sweetness unmatched
A hint of narcissism
In watching you try to taste
the sweetness that you are

An impossible possibility
Oh holy matrimony
A constant pursuit of Fool's Gold

Day in and day out
Textbook tenacity
Personified

But you drink,
And drink,
And drink

Try,
And try,
And try

With two milkshakes a day
You are the sum of all your parts, not the ingredients. I hope you feel the love you deserve.
