Love is...

It’s like this dull ache

Under my heart

Growing

Spreading

Lingering

Moments come and go

But when the moment comes

I silently beg for a reprieve

…It never comes.

No one said when you find

The other part of your soul

That it will take copious

Amount of strength to mask

The pain

Fake a smile

Force a laugh.

When you split from them

Deep past your ego

Deep past your insecurities

Deep past your heart

You know they belong to you

And you to them.

You waited all your life

And lifetimes before

To touch the one

Meant for you and only you.
