Love is like time
It is unruly
It knows things
You can feel it in your heart
And your eyes when they light up
You want to feel it every single day
Drift away in the feeling
Love makes the world say the words at night
And think quiet things in your mind as you look to the left and see the little cast of light on his face
And you feel the need to trace the shapes with your fingers softly
Lovingly
You long to tell someone about his allure and charm but you're at an utter loss for words when it comes to how he makes you feel
It is something you have never known
A feeling no string of words could ever successfully describe
A feeling deep within your soul
Warm and igniting
Reaching out and digging its fingers in the same places where pain lingers
And it is an uneasy feeling, but it is a good one

The thought of his smile, and the winsome dimple on his left cheek, dances around in your head
As you think about how it feels to kiss his soft lips, you smile a new smile
An effortless smile, emerging on its own
Creeping up your insides until it reaches your throat
Tingling
Then emerging without permission
Relentlessly spreading across your entire face
The sides of your lips curl up and you can feel it all over
All inside of you
It is warm and whimsical
And then you smile even harder
For you have no control over it
No other option than to just keep smiling
You think of his hands and what they felt like while they were caressing your face
What they felt like as his fingers meticulously wove through the long locks of your chestnut colored hair
They hold a sun inside of you that shines on hope and feels like home
Your heart sighs when his lips meet yours
And it is a heavy feeling, but it is a good one

You try to remember a time when someone else, someone else's warm body next to yours, made you feel like this
But you can't
Because it is a feeling unlike any you have ever known to exist
Even in your dreams you have never felt anything of the like
It is frightening
But so breathtaking
Stirring around the walls of your heart
Knocking and being welcomed in with warm impressions and friendly gestures
You lay next to him and it is homely and the feeling of his body next to yours is comforting
And each time he touches you, your skin remembers
And your heart flutters
Oh, beautiful dream

Walking together, the wind thunderous and chilling
He locks his arm in yours, forms a link between your two bodies
His eyes and endeavors reveal endearment and tenderness
It surprises you beyond belief when he talks of the little things he notices about you
When he executes small gestures that are beaming and full of care and warmth
Things no one else has ever done unto you
You've always thought, "I am so full of love and nobody wants it"
But he wants it, yearns for it, embraces it, swims in it
You've always thought, "I am always the one who loves more, always the one who is loved less"
But he loves just as much as you do, his heart just as big as yours, his intents just as intimate and passionate
Finally you feel you have found someone worthy of your love
Someone whose love is equal in size to yours
Someone who willingly accepts all of the love you willingly ration out
And returns the favor with care and ease
And it is a terrifying feeling, but it is a good one

He kisses you and you can feel the ache and desolation drain out of you
Filling your empty parts full of smoldering ardor and love
And you fall into a rapture so sweet, it completely engulfs you
You can feel the cracks of his youthful heart
And it makes you want to be a part of that
For he is a compliment to you
The two of you bounce and beam off the other
Swirling in perfect intervals
Moving in perfect sync
Your similarities bringing you close
Your contraries bringing you closer
And it is a peculiar feeling, but it is a good one

He came to you when you weren't looking
Garnered you when you weren't striving to be found
And yet here he is laying next to you in bed
His arms tied securely around your body
And you can feel it
Whatever it is
You can feel it
For it has no name
As it is not worthy of being named
The feeling, too great
The sensation, too wonderful

Describing it is impossible
But feeling it is enough
