Do you know that tiny feeling,
That starts deep down in the dark hole you call a heart?

That feeling of a candle flickering before the darkness engulfs the light it sparked.

Do you know that growing feeling,
That starts to fight its way to the surface?

That feeling of a hollow space in a vacuum being filled with light, intensity, air, beauty.

Do you know that entrancing feeling,
That starts to show itself to its surrounding bodies?

That feeling of your lung's alveoli once again grasping at the air particles that have crawled their way in through you throat after a deep exhalation.

Do you know that burning feeling,
That licks at the objects surrounding it with magnified intensity?

That feeling of a fire eating at its surroundings with the heat of a thousand suns and the sounds of a million thunderclaps.

Do you know that mortifying fear,
That starts from the surface and crawls its way in, destroying all with beauty in its path?

That feeling of not knowing what'll happen next, at a time where information of the future is what keeps you grounded and fed with the emotions and senses of being alive.

Those are all the feelings of loving someone.
