Love Love

It's deeper than chemistry We're connected By our hearts, by spirit, mentally Your mistakes caused pain But couldn't replace what we have I said I wouldn't but I forgive you You're wonderous Can't be mad at you Wouldn't dare go against my heart to leave you Don't even want to see life without you No stranger to falling fast Like what I like, Want what I want But with you there's no red flags. Before I've fallen fast Never though for a man who's core values match my desires I require so much Always in need of praise Superficial you know ego **** You leave no room for question You thinking bout me Your thoughtfulness fufills me A three course meal Plus icing Trying to walk into forever with you. Hoping it's God holding the door open to my heart for you I mean how else would you have gotten in? Is it Crime, is it sin to let a stranger so deeply within? So open to love Vulnerable by nature you see the blood stains on my sleeves My heart hangs out for everyone to see Subject to the sole of a shoe I've been stepped on a time or two or ten But to love I give in over and over again The scars increase some fade others never will I'm marred No fade cream will be effective Even still when I feel it I don't fear it I jump into the battle as if I never lost Its that same jab I forget to block And I go down I go down hard But it's those who are strongest that can get back in the ring after a loss or two or ten It is courage what you call foolishness So with both feet I jump in Fearlessly I take the risk I'm in it Wanting everything with you and more Believing its attainable with my whole heart. Walking the same line in the same fashion Hoping for a thorough road where there were only dead ends before. But you are my road less traveled. This path is far more beautiful than the last It isn't the scenery that takes away my breath It is the strength of the soil in the grass Unfertilized growing organically sprouting realness I pray to God to place His hand To allow pure love in between only us And if He shouldn't and my heart ends up broken It would have been worth it Being with you would have been enough No fool nor insane I believe in love is why I love this way What is life without this feeling I'd rather be broken than soulless From the soul comes love Not the heart as mentioned Love is Jesus, God is love Why falling in it is so agonizingly euphoric
