When You Fall In Love

When you fall in love:

it should not be forced

or rushed

like that homework assignment

that you started the night before the due date.

You should not ignore it

or force it to the back of your mind

like all of the other feelings

that you don’t want to admit to having.

You should not hide it

behind your bedroom door

wishing your heart to be silent

so that your parents

don’t notice that it’s beating

twice as fast as it normally does;

you shouldn’t be ashamed

and you shouldn’t be scared.

 

Because love is the band-aid

that heals all wounds

no matter how deep they are.

It is that voice in your head saying

“everything is going to be okay now”

instead of the voice that tells you

that nothing is okay.

It is a kaleidoscope of all the things

that you didn’t think were beautiful

before you met this person .

It is the rainbow

that comes after the storm

and that feeling that you get

when you realize

that there’s good things in this world

after all.

If you let it

love can be everything

that you never even knew you needed.

This is adorable! I'm sure infatuated gals can pretty much relate to it.

Love should be unconditional and without criticism… every couples story is different and we should not follow dating rules cause that is the sure way to cause it to end. We all love at our own pace. Very nice work, a lot of useful knowledge here.
