LOVE SICKNESS

Your gaze gave me chills
Your smile made my stomach growl
Your laughter sent me shivers

I thought I'd feel even more cold
As I've been in that state for so long
But you gave me warmth.

I feel so down when you're not there
And seeing you was the only cure
But sometimes it just makes my feeling worse.

I thought that was abnormal
I knew something in me was abnormally wrong
I'm perfectly aware there was something else.

I gave myself a week for healing
But when you waved hi
I thought my heart's gonna explode.

I had to assess my feelings
Before giving my final diagnosis
It was silly but I had to take chances.

There were times I thought
It was just a product of longing for affection
Waiting for someone to give me some attention.

But there were more times I thought
I am already falling in the hands of an ailment
Something the remedy was you reciprocating.

I finally concluded I was sick
It was love sickness that has taken all over me
And I hoped you'd save me.

Of course, you weren't a doctor
Neither were you a cure,
You weren't even aware I was sick.

And I hope you won't ever know
Until I heal myself through staying away from you
Because that's the best cure I knew.
