The Essence of love


Inhale

Exhale

Relax

Breathe

 

Words I repeat 24 hrs a day

7 days a week, whenever I’m around you.

But why is this? Is this because of pure exhilaration?

Or is it because I’m keeping myself from causing a suicidal volcanic eruption

I can’t seem to process my thoughts when I’m around you, and it isn’t because of a lack of words

My mind seems to scream at the top of its lungs till immediate impact.

Loss of words.

 

Inhale

Exhale

Relax

Breathe

 

Why every time I’m with you I feel like you don’t appreciate me?

Why do you get angry when I try to solve/fix/initiate?

Why don’t you try to share any of my interests? Get to know me

 

A stranger is what I often feel like when I am around you

Someone who strolls along your side constantly studying your every move

You say you love me and I believe you but are you truly in love with me? Or are in love with merely the thought of me? Might I add those are two extremely different things

 

Expressive is a word that greatly defines me. I’m an artist, it flows through my vibrant color filled veins

I’m a reader, Creative and Imaginative

I’m a writer, Sentimental and expressive

The rawness that comes with those things is undeniable, yet, it always appears to me that you go completely against it.

 

Compassionate, Understanding

Why am I lost in my own heart feeding like a leech at the sight of your gentle warm face?
