The Good DaysšŸ–¤šŸ’–

The person you love Is that person You can run out into the fields with At midnight The person you love Is that person Who will rest your head on you As you both gaze at the stars The person you love Is the person who you dream of At night in the dark When you close your eyes So to you Love is the book you spend hours on Love is a soft blanket on a cold winter day Love is a paintbrush, the soft strokes blending in The person you love Is the person Who brings you too many flowers For you to count The person you love Is that person Who takes up the space Until thereā€™s only an inch left Or, the person you love Is the person Who never stops begging But you feed him anyway Or, the person you love Is the person Who you know is right for you But youā€™re hiding behind the shell anyway So to you, Love could be a puppy, always begging for more Love could be a trapeze, letting you fly Love could be a clock, never stopping for a breath Love is a treasure Hidden deep within When found, excitement fills the air But the box is always Left behind Love is the happiest Until one issue comes up Blocking your golden pathway Causing your feet to slip But itā€™s okay to hurt Itā€™s okay to wish Itā€™s okay to struggle And call for your mom So itā€™s okay To experience the beauty Love will bring you Because even on days When it seems like itā€™s gone It isnā€™t If it was? We wouldnā€™t grieve We wouldnā€™t shatter We wouldnā€™t fight so hard We wouldnā€™t hope for more We wouldnā€™t sneak out Into the starry nights And the grassy fields In the middle of the night Just to see another human Love is Complicated Dramatic Misleading Empty Heartbreaking Sometimes hopeless Love is many things It tells multiple stories It breaks multiple hearts It can cause more than you expect But love is a friend That annoying friend You continue to hold on to Because of the good daysšŸ–¤šŸ’– Sincerely, CaraliašŸ«¶šŸ¼ Heyyyy guys! I didnā€™t really know where I was going with this, but the base of this poem is based off of my idea of love, if that makes sense. Whenever I think of love, I always think of that feeling you would probably get when youā€™re out in the fields or any type of grassy area with flowers surrounding you, and youā€™re staring at the stars as your lover holds your hand softly and brings you to a place youā€™ve never been before. And no words are exchanged between you and your lover, just beautiful smiles and butterflies. But then, I know actual relationships have a bc lot more to them then that. Like keeping secrets, having arguments, your mental health, their mental health, saying goodbye, and more. But this is just how I imagine a moment of pure romance. Love when itā€™s having a good day. Especially being out at night after a chaotic day, and having that person right there to hold you. So I built this off of that idea, and the rest just kind of came to me.ā¤ļø I donā€™t know how you guys feel or if you feel the same way, because Iā€™ve honestly never been in a relationship, so obviously I donā€™t know. So this poem is my imagination speaking. Oh yeah, and the many romance books Iā€™ve read speaking :) Sending love šŸ’• to all of those who are missing a loved one right now
