Is It Love?

Why is it when I hear your voice my heart still skips a beat?

My stomach's in my throat and I can't breath.

You don't even have to be here to to control my feelings.

Its not like you ever loved me or felt the same.

There is only what could have been, 

Not what was.

There is only what we imagine

And hope for from love.

If you knew you held my heart, would things have changed?

I know you haven't broken it yet

I guess that's why I still hold on.

I guess love is the reason we all hold on.

To think, "I love you."

To let those word caress my lips.

I would let you hear them too, if only the meaning would reach you.

If only your heart could do back-flips too.

And that smile

Oh,that smile that's held in your eyes

Even when there filled with sadness.

They smile with a brightness only love can know

And only hearts can hold.

So let me hold you in my heart 

Or let me hold your heart too.

Or at least I'll hold your memory

To keep me holding on.

I've said it before, you are an amazing poet. This was flawless and beautiful. Great job!
