A familiar word but a foreign concept
by @HugoPierce
I heard about it all my life
I was sure I knew the meaning
but I hadn't felt this so-called feeling
I listened to all the songs
explaining how wonderful it is
Yet I hadn't met these butterflies
or had my heart leap out my chest
Now I look at the pillow where you laid
and I miss you
I want you here
Every part of my day is brighter with you there
when you aren't
your footprints mark my mind
Crossing it more often than not
Each moment I get lost in thought
I find myself thinking of you
But I didn't know
Just how terrifying it is
to be in love.
