Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever felt it in their eyes,
a fleeting glance that makes you feel
more beautiful than you ever have before
until you are so overwhelmed
you stumble over your words?
Have you ever felt it in their confessions
ringing through your ears and
until your whole body radiates
with their affection and adoration?
Have you ever felt it in the heat of their fingertips,
traveling up your spine in tiny, forceful waves,
setting every nerve on fire
until the only thing you feel is their touch
Have you ever felt it in the electricity of a look,
their eyes meeting yours and suddenly,
light shines from them like a halo
until you are completely blind to everyone
Have you ever felt it chill your toes
as you run across the yard and down the road,
until you reach their car waiting
for a midnight rendezvous?
Have you ever felt it in your palms
as they hold your hand in theirs,
until the envious stares make you feel
important, like a queen in her castle?
Have you ever felt it in every move you make,
their promises and commitments
filling you up slowly and steadily
until you are floating and
walking on air, on top of the world?
Have you ever felt it in your veins,
torrent through them like a river after a storm,
crash into your heart, flood your brain
until the only thing you see is them leave
through the waterfalls of your own tears?
