Love
Four silly letters, that make you act even sillier
Pulled in by your emotions while your brain fights to keep logic on board
But those **** butterflies make it near impossible!
How are you supposed to think straight when they flutter in all sorts of ways
How is your head supposed to lead when your heart says that it's wrong
And you try to hold on to reason but your palms are too sweaty to grasp anything
Except
Except for the possibility of what could be
Then laughter bubbles from within as realisation sets in
You're further gone then you care to admit and you can't recall when you had pushed past your limits
Instead
The sunshine seems brighter and the skies are shaded blue
You notice everything
More so you notice what the feeling does to you

The way that you yearn to have them in your arms,
If only just for a moment
You wrestle with what words to say and what to keep away
Out of the fear of scaring them
Because what would they say if they knew
That you just wanted to care for them?
Their face is a mental image that lives rent free
And if you had to describe it, you'd remember every exact detail easily
And their voice? The clichéd music to your ears
Cheesing at what they said even when they're no longer near, a sound on repeat that only you can hear


Oh Love, a feeling that is all too familiar but yet still a mystery
Especially when your head and your heart usually disagree
Those four silly letters have a way of making you do sillier things
But you go along for the ride
Every
Single
Time
Because those four silly letters have a way of giving life a new meaning.
