How I Feel


How do I feel?

Is what you ask me.

But see,

My love,

It is hard to verbalize.

How I feel.

So I had to write it down.

And let the words flow.

From my mind.

Through my fingers.

And let my fingers

Do the talking.

Where to begin

That is the question.

First off

I love you.

I cannot exactly explain

The feeling

In a sequence of words

That can even close

To explaining how I feel.

How I really feel.

But I will try my best.

For you.

Being with you

Makes me feel as though

Everything I ever needed.

Everything I ever wanted.

Has taken a human form

And been placed into my life.

Constantly.

Frequently.

Unconditionally.

Bringing joy to my being.

I may not say it enough.

But I miss you.

Every hour of every day.

Those excruciating moments

Where our breaths

And our heartbeats

Do not coexist

In the same room

Are the longest seconds

Of my life.
