i think

i think that you are a constant full moon with shadows whispering your eyelids through closed clouds of a sun once called upon your happiness

and your soul

your constant is hers

and hers is yours

i think

i think that loving someone is like a tumble wave

crashing and breaking and burning everything to the ground

but then the rise of it only speaks to loudest voices

and i think

i think that loving someone is worth more than any gift allowed on this earth

and i think you’ll know when you love them

because your heart won’t skip, jump or flutter

no racing beats

no

your heart will have a constant sting

it’ll ring in your ears

your body will become used to the warmth of another in your bed

your arms will start becoming loose and your heart will carry heavy stones made for two

its powerful, really

loving someone’s brain is like looking for a mirror to catch glimpses and reflections of your heart

your mind is blank but with them you’ll know when to stay loud

and you’ll know

no matter how many descriptions, poems, books or movies talk about falling in love

it won’t matter

it won’t matter because when you are loving someone are you really thinking of fiction?

it won’t matter because when you think you know, you know

and no one can stop you from this feeling

your hands will shiver and your lips might turn blue in between your lover

but don’t let that stop you

let it scare you

it’s what is supposed to happen

this is real life after all

when you love someone you’ll whisper sweet nothings into their ears and leave the words carved into their skin

when you love someone you’ll know pain

when you love someone you’ll think about fiction

when you love someone your eyes will smile

when you love someone you’ll start loving yourself too

when you are in love

you’ll know

no questions

no ‘if’s’ or ‘buts’

your heart will smile for you

talk for you

and love the hardest for you

you’ll know the second you love them

believe me it’ll make your bond stronger than blood vessels flowing through knotted veins

it’ll happen

that memory of the moment you told them ‘i love you’ will become your fever dream

you love them and that’s a big step

you love them and you know it’ll never fade

you’ll just know

are you ready?
