sadness is just a feeling
until it overcame her
and she jumped of a bridge

loneliness is just a feeling
until she cut herself
because that boy let go

excitement is just a feeling
until he was jumping out of his seat
because daddy was finally coming

happiness is just a feeling
until she kissed him
and they both understood the meaning of love

love is just a feeling
until he woke up every morning
to her face and couldn't think of anything better

as people, we are full of feelings
and they stop being just feelings
when they become the one thing that fuels us
the one thing that makes her jump
her cut
him to smile and bounce
them to kiss
and him to smile every morning
