That’s love for you...

I was terrified in the beginning

I couldn’t help it

I was never exposed to it

So when I began to feel it

And you began to show me

I panicked

I held it in

I tried to contain it

But you can’t do that with love

It demands to be felt

To be expressed

You can’t just lock it up

Because eventually it’ll be too much and it’ll consume you

The intensity of it surrounded us

We were in our own bubble of love

The outside world was nothing but distractions

Which is where we went wrong

We forgot about the fragility of a bubble

Bubbles pop

And when ours popped,

So did everything else.

Gone were the elated feelings

In place was the daunting, “what now”

I don’t want to give up

But I know I have to

There's no way to piece together a bubble

Love did this to us
