Driven mad with hopeless longing
I wonder, "Will I ever find peace?
Will this maddening feeling ever
depart from my soul?"
This piece of you
that became a part of me
consumes my entire being
with a fiery passion
that burns everything in its path,
leaving nothing left of me but you.
Your smile. Your laugh.
The cute little lisp you get when
you're too excited to correct it.
Your stunning eyes and
your thick red-gold hair.
I could go on for hours,
but I'll stop myself before I
get carried away.
See, that is the effect you have on me.
I get carried away.
I get mushy and gushy
and I know when I think
of you I get this goofy
smile and this doe-eyed look
on my face.
I'm sorry, but I can't control
the way I feel.
You turn my world
upside down and mix everything
up until I don't know right from left or the
sky from the ground.
But then you hold my hand
and everything is right again.
Well, I imagine that's how I would feel
if you took my hand.
Yes, you turn around everything
I thought I knew, but you
alone could make it all right again,
if you could admit to what
I think you already know.
If our auras collided we would
drown the world with our love.
It would consume you as much
as you have consumed me.
But that's alright, because it's
not as bad as you might think.
No, it's not bad at all, I swear,
after it's happened, it's like you
forgot how life was before.
It's a life-changing, soul-merging,
crazy, stupid, irrational thing.
No, not a thing, a feeling.
No, not a feeling, an idea.
An emotion. A connection.
Yes, that is what we have.
A connection. We connect.
On a level higher than any other,
we connect. We talk.
We merge ourselves when
we discuss our hopes and
dreams, our thoughts
and desires. We collide,
and as we collide, we
connect. That is what I
feel, what I know.
Our connection will overcome
any adversity life throws at us.
So maybe this feeling in my soul
won't go away.
But I think I'm alright with
this. I think you could make
this feeling feel bearable.
