What you are feeling is not love Love is not this envy coursing through your veins turning your skin green. No, Love is the skeletons that climbed out your closet, content with being seen It’s A Still of the best moments Still alive when she’s dead Still, in a hurricane of emotions, that reside in your head
Love is not her hair, her *******, soft lips or strawberry scent Not the contour of her body; It's porcelain touch Nor the way her voice fades at the end of a sentence Instead, it’s in the absence In the things you can’t sense, but still feel In The parts of her that are least physical but most real
Love is not the way fears became a blindfold That hid you from the Truth Torn from a blanket of jealousy Covering you up, Keeping you bitter
Rather, Love is the tear-stains on your jacket shoulder The warm embrace The eye of the storm. She kept that jacket And Maybe Just Maybe She’s wrapped herself in it And realized that: Love is the only reason you didn’t want to leave her And the exact reason Why you did
