No Replacement For Love

Its been a while,
Since iv'e smiled
You remind me of her.

That sounds bad, 
But don't be mad 
Because your heart is more pure.

Its hard to love 
the push and shove
and how it gets so much harder

but seeing your face 
and sharing your space,
makes me feel like it started.

This is different,
I feel strange. It's like my psyche has shifted.
Like an ape, all of the sudden becoming mathematically gifted.
My brain cells light up like charged tesla coils
My heart is aflame , and my blood starts to boil

But why? for who?
It's not her. It's for you.
No i can't explain it.
And i WONT detain it.

No rationalizations.
No words to describe it.
I love, therefore i am
