When it's in the air you'll not know what it is at first, but once you smell it once you never forget It lingers there as you walk through it, hanging in the air as prokaryotic pill shaped molecules It always smells different but the symptoms are as follows words stuck in the back of your throat, sweaty palms and shortness of breath a sense of longingness juxtaposed with a sense of fear An overwhelming need to communicate all the new thoughts on your stone written findings of what we need to survive Don't be alarmed, or rush off to the doctor thinking "There is something wrong with me" We all breathe this in, multiple times in our lives, Love's pathogens have a way, of infiltrating our senses and controlling our thoughts and actions like our physical bodies are more of a third party parasite to what our souls need to feed on. So don't choke on your words, reach out with dry hands for hers, the fear will always be there, because that's love and this is how we react when it is in the air.
