I think I'm in love

by Beautiful Tragedy   May 14, 2017


You're not the wind in my sails,
you're the calmness of the water in
which stabilizes and holds my boat.
You're not the storm in my sky that causes me chaos,
but the sunshine in which brings the warmth and delight to my day.
You're not in the way of my path I'm walking on day after day;
but the one who stays beside me
every single step of the way.
And you are not the bottle in
which I shove my emotions into in order
To hide them but instead the cap
that lets me open up and be free to express myself in any way I can.
You are the peaceful silence to my wind,
The sunshine in my storm,
My right hand man in a path of obstacles,
And the cap to my bottle.
But the most amazing part of it is
You are you;
And I think i'm in love with you.

    I like the comparisons you used throughout. A sweet and lovely write.

    I love the duality of this. You always read about love, or someone being a driving force, but rarely have I read about it being a stabilizing force. I like the way you concisely sum it up at the end.

      Thank you. And in my view, it's a mix of both. It's stabilizing and driving at the same time.
