love is the kind of feeling you get
when your feet are struck by the rolling ocean
and your arms are wrapped around the boy you've always cared about
the feeling you get when your hands are hovering over a bonfire
and it looks so alluring, you want to touch it, wrap yourself in it, submerge your being
in all that it is
but you know that you can't
because it would hurt far too much
love is the greatest risk and the biggest comfort of all the world
it's a leap of faith and a step too far
it hurts
but you don't care
because its so
beautiful
