This is how it feels...

I never lose myself in a moment.

Or somewhere in your eyes.

I know exactly where I am.

Looking at you is like looking at the map on the side of a hiking trail

the 'x' tells you exactly where you are

and you can always see which way to take

to get you where you need to be.

There are no rushing colors, no butterflies, no gazes that make everyone else fade away.

There is me and there is you.

I am in love

rather than being just a feeling

it is a fact.

Not fragmented like a poem

nor is it complete like a paper.

There

is

n

o

ord

er.

But is that not how it should seem?

When others have left me breathless, you have filled me with breath.

You are not the reason I choose to live, because you are the one who helps me see all the other reasons.

I cannot really think of something more healthful, practical, or stable than that.

Not always fireworks

or long nights of longingly looking at the other

It is a hand held

words said

tumbling backwards with passion

laughing at clinking teeth

dreaming of the future

begging to go to sleep.
