Tingles and Tears


Your tears fall

Your happiness climbs

Your stomach churns

Your finger tips tingle

Your name is said

Your pupils focus on it all

 

Your tears fall

Your forehead crunches up

Your fold your fingers into a fist

You smile as salt covers your lips

Your lips consume the salt like liquid

You then smile more

You know it will be okay

You know it to be true

Love is real.

If it is real that is.

As long as its real, you will be okay.

 

You know he loves you.

With that knowledge you are content.

You are calm.

You are real.

Through the love with him, you are you.
