Love is real

You and someone else

Love without thinking

Wake up every morning happy because of love

Not having one worry

Having your best friend by your side

Love is beauty, beauty is desire

Adoration brings out the real you
that was in hiding

You stay up at night wondering

How you got so lucky

You found someone worth spending life with

Being at work

Or school

And that person just pops in your head

The kind of “Pop!”

That makes you smile stupidly to yourself

People ask “why are you smiling”

But then going so good with someone
for so long

Just to lose each other

The hurt feels like being stung by hundreds of wasps

The kind of hurt that keeps you up crying

Wondering

“What did I do to make it go down hill?”

Up all night blaming yourself

You feel it past your ribs to your heart

Your heart aches

Where you go from “Why are you smiling?”

To “Why do you look so sad”

The type of hurt where you wish you could

Just go back to sleep

Shut out the whole world

Pray to God that it’ll get better
