What's love

#What's_love
When I wish to have someone with my whole being but not knowing how to pour my heart to them, doubts and fear to be burnt, rejected and not sharing the same sentiment, when I burn inside, battling my own demons of love, loving what's before me, wishing to touch, to whisper in her ears but trapped inside myself

Hoping she would one day see through me, break the walls suffocating my heart, notice that I'm burning, burning for her

When I can't sleep at night, tossing and turning, strangled by wonders of insecurity and fear, fearing for one day to wake up and they be nowhere near to talk to, to share with, to smile with

Fearing someone might snatch her out of my reach, out of my wishes and hope, hoping and dying from inside, questions pilling up, bloating and weighing heavy on my mind and heart, 

Dawn to dusk, thinking and dreaming of what if's, it draining peace out of me. She be near to see, closer to touch and attached so deep, permanent in my every thought and smile

Wishing but shackled, shackled by what's beyond my abilities, hoping but restricted by what I alone can't change. Looking through my soul, fireworks forever painting my face with floods of joy, 

her edges, her smile, her laughter, from toe to skull, bowing to her throne of beauty, please don't pull me out of this ecstasy

Constantly at war with my own spirit, but nature dragging me back to being human, and I realise with every encounter and her presence that indeed I am human, before all

Wanna say I think I love you, I think, for so many uncertainties have passed through my life and a little hope of certainty remaining, hart to convince my mind that I'm in love, with you

Said; what's love, for its meaning constantly get lost inside me, the grounds are way too ravished and unstable to be certain at all, what's love? Is it the tiny thoughts of her that leaves my mind embraced with overwhelming joy

What's love? My heart asks, my mind run amok, this question takes away everything out of me, I just wanna love, if this how love feels, then I'm in love, hoping to never ask ever, what's love

like the way you handled this topic. Your ending will be relatable to men and women equally, as it will be to young and old. It is also a wish most will take on board. i wish you well from David in NZ
