I was in love once
Location
i was in love a few times,
well… once really
it was the type of love that didn’t need to be spoken
the kind where you only need each other
and you knew that everything was going to be okay.
This love was mind consuming.
Butterflies in every part of my body
all but my heart
no
no, in there was a humming bird.
its wing flapping at 60 mph
somehow moving space and time
making the stars align
placing the planets on my finger tips
creating that feeling of perfect bliss
my personal paradise
now it may not all have been at the same time
I honestly don’t remember
but i know it didn't last long
the heartbreak was earth shattering
My tears burned
leaving streak marks for everyone to see
the hummingbird was on steroids
a black hole absorbing my planet and stars
that were once given to me
leaving me no where but hell
my stomach twisted and turned
somehow crawling its way to my throat
suffocating me
restricting my air
stoping me from screaming for help
But in the sweet silent that came over me
Calmed me
You see i realized
Love is like a firework,
starting slow, and awkward
waiting for the perfect yet unexpecting moment
and then the light ignites
sparking with excitement
passion bursting from the very core
painting the night sky
only to seem as if it would last a life time
but it dies out
leaving only the empty shell
Love is a monument
only as strong as the effort put into it
it builds up
to where it can never be struck down
it’s the inspiration to the generations
Love isn’t a word
It's a sensation
only felt by those you truly mean it
and should never be mistaken for
affection and admiration
It’s the uncensored smiles and giggles
the uncontrollable thoughts and tears
It’s the source of all life
But… maybe… I just miss it
