Love
Love is not a long drawn out plan,
It’s sudden; you’ll never see it coming.
At first it’s an eye roll and a curled nose,
Then it’s doey eyes and hearts beside names.
Before love, life almost seems like a leaf in the wind,
Already bound to touch the ground.
After it is a downpour of emotions,
Realizing that a life without them would be incomplete.
Everything you’ll do is for your love,
Each breath you take, every heartbeat,
Even waking up and falling asleep.
All the small and the big things are for them.
It’s living a life in the middle of a lightning storm,
A stomach of constant butterflies,
And it’s sweaty fingers, like when you first met.
You almost don’t want to blink, afraid it will slip away.
It can become phone calls each night,
Then transform into two cups of coffee in the morning,
It may even become a pair of feet running down the hall;
Just don’t let it slip away or it could be nothing at all.
