No Escaping It

You can’t escape it The erratic breaths you take The swell of your heart The butterflies in your tummy It may happen once or become a reoccurrence The instant high The tingles on your skin And the thoughts of always wanting to be with them Love doesn’t spare you The ones who haven’t yet felt it And those who’ll feel it once again, Once love enters your heart, the craving won’t end You’ll always seek it The preference of being in their company The late-night talks that last for hours And never wanting to be alone It may come with pain The heartache of losing their love The struggle of sustaining a relationship And the constant worry of not being good enough Give it your all The love, the pain, the compassion, The uncertainty, the pleasure, the selflessness, And trust it will guide you through
