POEM|If This Is Love

I see you
Walking towards me 

I’m grinning
Checking you out

Butterflies in my belly
While you’re with me

We kiss
And you take my breath away

If this is love
I don’t want it to end…

I’m here alone
But you’re in my thoughts

I yearn for my medicine
That is what you are

We talk
And I forget all my worries

Your voice
Is music to my soul

If this is love
I’m glad I found it…

I feel safe
Knowing I have you by me

When I’m with you
I can see us together grey and old

I’m content
Knowing I have the best

When I’m not with you
I can’t stop thinking about you

I hope this is love
I want it forever
