Journey to Love

I once thought I knew what love was;
Born out of a passionate lust
She was blonde and petite
And I fell captive to young love's games.

Four years went by and then I realize
She is leaving and I am too.
This is where I first learned what love
Really feels like: After a terrible mess

of a relationship crumbled I feel empty
but then I met her. Brunette and beautiful,
A dazzling spectacle of what God is truly capable
of creating. The emptiness forgotten I now feel

A rush over come my entire body;
Indescribable tightness in my heart
and lightheadedness I want to fall;
Literally head over heels.

I can still feel it now. Coursing through my
entire body I feel her presence within me;
Imprinted upon my soul is her impression:
1300 miles away she lies in bed and I suffer, I miss,
I wish, I hope, I feel, I breathe, I love for real.
I love her.
