Life leads us through journeys
and pathways we'd never see-
Preferences we never fathom
are adored unexpectedly.
The days we never saw coming
a stranger became a friend-
Then grew into infatuation
never thought to love again.
The treasure life has brought us
and risks we both take-
To unexpectedly be together
a secret but not a mistake.
Unanticipated moments
created a love so strong-
Throughout this journey together
feels so right and never wrong.
Life never works the way as planned
changes along the way-
Old habits to new beginnings
to be together soon one day.

Moments of great happiness
each day felt so bright-
Each second was so perfect
a change that felt so right.

A sudden shift into silence
to distance from the heart-
No words of explanations
of why the coldness start.

Convinced that things were perfect
the building of anew-
Days of unending happiness
now feels unreal, untrue.

Days believing it was real love
blinded and did not see-
Fooled by the possibilities
of what could one day be.

It began with just a crush
then the feelings slowly grew-
Evolved into infatuation
after many months with you.

Unexpectedly you stole my heart
and these feelings grew more-
From butterflies in my stomach
to someone that I adore.

Confronted by these feelings
Is true or a fantasy?
Are you the one my heart is longing?
Do you truly belong with me?

I can't define what I am feeling
or am I scared to actually say-
To admit what I truly feel for you
and if you'll go or will you stay?

Way deep inside is a feeling
a feeling I know is true-
Such complete and true happiness
and this forbidden love for you.

A feeling unexplainable
a sudden warmth inside my heart-
A realization of reality
discovered when we we're apart.
My mind is constantly replaying
this feeling rushed inside-
The moment of confirmation
who my heart has helped decide.
That moment he held me in his arms
I held him in mine real tight-
My heart felt a sudden warming rush
affirming that this is right.
My mind is spinning so differently
can't explain what my heart feels-
Through hours passed I realized
these feelings are truly real.
Remembering the moment of yesterday
that I can't stop thinking of-
My heart has found the truth inside
that it's him I truly love.

What started as infatuation
unexpectedly grew strong-
My mind overwhelmed with love
I no longer feel is wrong.

My days are so much brighter
and happiness filled inside-
No longer want us to be a secret-
no longer want to hide.

The missing pieces rediscovered
and the path is clear to see-
This life now feels complete
with you here next to me.

Beginning a new chapter
as this love feels so true-
Accepting this new reality
that my heart belongs to you.

Bewildered by this feeling
which words cannot express-
How strong I truly feel for him
so lost, I can't confess.
My heart was never looking
but unexpectedly came across-
A stranger who brought pure happiness
a feeling I thought I've lost.
Each day is so much brighter
and my smile for all to see-
Was recreated by this someone
who I love so unexpectedly.
But I'm saddened by reality
that each day I have to hide-
How I feel every moment with him
and how I truly feel inside.
At this moment I'd take a chance
to live this happiness-
And share with him how I truly feel
for it's him I love the best.
Michelle Nelson May 2021
Something aches inside
as the tears start to fall-
One moment it was everything
Now it seems I've lost it all.
The happiness is fading
as my heart has lost its way-
The moments spent together
are nothing like yesterday.
Accepting the realization
that it wasn't meant to be-
But just a dream of what could have been
of a life, just you and me.
