An excerpt from When I love

An excerpt from When I love

Ask me now my dear.

Is it too early?

Ask me now who I want to love.

Is it too early? Cause I think I finally figured it out

I don’t want to just love

I want to be loved

I want to be love.

I want to be made to smile, and laugh, and heal, and giggle, and chuckle.

I just want to be made to be happy and hug and hold hands and help and harmonize and heal and hope

as soon as we meet

When I love,

I don’t want to be like those other broken hearts who are together and apart

And then together again

I want to be passion, and adoration and everlasting

When I love,

I don’t want to be another ex my dear, let me be the only

The salt within each person’s tears that leaves in its place….emotion

That pounding within that gives love to the word “passion”

Let me be warmed by the souls of care and concern                  

Let me be lightened by the hope that travels around

And be provided with the first feeling of “importance”

And when the world has been drained of the warmth and comfort that

flows within each of us,

Let me be the one that still has a soul, feels emotion, and can still dream

Forever-

2 hearts together forever…

When I love

I don’t want to be a lost spirit my dear, I want to be the life that once thrived in it-

Not a useless box my dear, let me be the treasure held inside.

The value of pricelessness and worth…

the one in which in the darkest light and the emptiest void can still be safe, shine, shimmer, and

sparkle.

I want to be the crown in which I am the only one, and the jewel that feels treasured and

precious.

I want to be the diamond that is what makes the treasure whole,

the treasure map that makes it complete,

the discovery that feels unique;

I want to be the special treasure that can lift your spirits,

but only if you love me back and make me feel good until we are gone;

I want to be the perspective of Lysander’s eyes when he was under a spell and was

Entranced with a magical feeling when in fact he was only feeling an emotion that

the rest of our souls could only dream of feeling…

When I love
