You feel like home
warm hot chocolate
kind eyes
toasted marshmallow
and the sweetest of smiles
All in
You can’t be half in half out
I love too deeply for that
Either you take the plunge
and see what happens
Or we swim back to the surface
and live with the taste of what could have beens
Free to be me
I don’t want to feel trapped
or pressured
I want to feel free
free to be me, free anytime,
free to love as deeply as I can
But without expectations
like a painting that refuses to be framed
or a bird that refuses to be caged
uninhibited beauty, uninhibited liberty
What we don't have
We are all trying to muddle through
this thing called life
take the best path we can
all while comparing the paths to others in futile.
We only ever see the the shiny advertising
of the packages that are missing in our lives
but never what is on the shelf right in front of us
and perhaps that is one of the hardest things
of being human
Unexpected
I felt like I was drowning
in all this loveliness
But I wasn’t sure why
Vulnerable you
It’s the vulnerable you
I love the most
the you that isn’t afraid to share your feelings
or admit that you care
this is the strongest you I can see
because it doesn’t shy away from the desires of the heart
but rather, embraces them in all their entirety
The greatest question of all
What is love?
A feeling or image?
Something given to us, or something we must seek?
It’s a question we ask ourselves every day
the dreamers, poets and magicians
are all still searching for the answer
But is there an answer?
Or it is something that defies definition?
