A Little Bit Of Love

Love

A flower behind my ear.

I am leaping through the tall grass.

Grass so tall that it brushes my fingertips as I bound.

The sun is shining bright.

Today is perfect.

A summer dress flows around my legs.

I fear I’m in love.

Before I can process it,

He’s in front of me.

I promised my self I would never love another,

But now that he’s in front of me,

I can hardly focus on anything else.

Every ounce of my very being longs to hold him closer.

I laugh as I take his hand and lead him towards the cottage that I love so much.

I’ve never been in love before,

I fear it.

Love is a stranger to me.

I’ve never felt this way before.

All those hearts that have been broken.

The lies that have been said.

I fear everything about the art.

I’m like a curious child, so innocent, so small.

I can’t help the way I feel around him.

It just kind of happens.

He’s the only one I’m like this around.

He never sees my bad side.

I never let him.

I can’t be that way around him.

It’s impossible.

And we reach the cottage, the smell of pancakes wafting from the kitchen.

I sniff in and sigh,

I am so lucky to be here.

In this moment.

I feel special.

I feel like I matter 

I feel happy.

But most of all, I feel like someone cares.
