Valentine's Day giddiness
catalysed by the semi hand-holding
and the nervous kisses that
hallow the romantic amateurity
of junior high
Then high school,
the brick-walled hell of september's
The pressure
The hormones
The naked need
for warmth and
an unkillable desire
to lose the one thing
to gain another
But in the end
It's all the same
We want love
(need it)
to survive
Those who live without it
are the poor skeletons
without the fellow heart
to bleed with, side by side
And for those of us who find it,
find that wondrous facet of existence,
the indescribable absolute, love
Our pulses race and minds helplessly
spiral into oblivion to the others
when the one is there
