what does it feel like to be in love?

does it soothe?
like a soft mist dusting your neck,
cooling your sholders, relaxing your tensions?

does it seize?
like an unrelenting grasp over your being,
your smiles and your tears,
your common sense and your emotions?

does it excite?
starting at your toes and rising to your chest,
then your throuat where it holds its breath,
until it cant help but scream?

doe it confuse?
am i supposed to feel this way?
does he feel this way? why does he lead me on?
what is it in those eyes that makes me so flustered?

you tell me.

does every smile, every glance, every chance meeting
feel like a promise to love you back?
not because its what you need to think
to keep the hope of a fairy tale romance from fading?

does every conversation linger for days?
every frame;
clear but unreal
in every daydream rerun?

you tell me.

does he consume your mind
day to long-awaited day
until everything has lost its original luster
when he isnt around to charm the scene?

does every playful poke
make you float above cloud nine
like youre rising but staying still?
does every friendly hug
force the corners of your mouth up into a stupid grin?

"why do my knees become uselessly weak
with every meningless touch
or even when he walks within 20 feet
of my 'personal space'?"

you tell me.

does it always feel like more than just a crush
or a silly infatuation
when he talks to you
just like you would imagine a soul mate would
and laughs at your jokes.

you tell me.

because what do i know about it?
im only a kid, right?
hell, ive only been in love once or twice.
