In the End, I am only Words

Oh dear

Falling in love

What a fantastic complication in life 

It is like being handed a road map with no street names 

And then being told to arrive within the hour

Where are you going?

How do you get there?

Will you ever reach your destination? 

And it shows itself in a variety of ways 

It isn't always a moment where your heart explodes and your eyes stop seeing and your mind can't think of anything else besides the words I love you... 

Sometimes

It is how you find yourself lost in the color of their eyes 

How you unconsciously contemplate the delicate curve of their lips 

And how they would feel pressed against your own

It is how their laughter causes happiness to blossom within your heart in a way you've never experienced   

How you have difficulty keeping a small smile from slipping onto your face when you look at them

It is how you tell them you love them without saying a word

Without writing it down 

Sometimes without knowing it yourself 

Not knowing what the warmth, creating a pool of sunshine in your soul, is from 

Not knowing how deeply you embrace their being 

How much you hope for them to understand  

It is how you may have pictured one particular person as you read this

Oh what a complex, terrifying, and lovely thing.....

Hey guys!  This was supposed to be a post for yesterday so we'll just pretend it's not past midnight. I got the idea from the lovely human being that is celestialerror, so from here until Christmas I am going to do my best to post a piece of poetry at least once a day. Speaking of celestialerror, please please go check out their book Tongue Tied, it is absolutely amazing. Like seriously, their writing is incredible.  

 Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you're all doing well! 

  Stay beautiful  :)
