Innocent Love

I always thought

That true love

Was a very far fetched dream

Couldn't be a part of reality

For how can one care for a stranger

Unconditionally

To the very point of addiction

Of that special someone's presence

You never know if its right or wrong

When the first hints

Settle in

You just know you 'like' them

There's no scope for the why's and how's

You simply do.

 

 

Like I did.

Never thought it would actually come to anything

Yet, it was so sweet

Every feeling

Every thought

About you

That burning of my cheeks

And weakness of my legs

And speech

It was all so cute

Adorable even

Yet, it was child-ish

Immature, and what not

I knew it had no future

But I never let go

And here I am

Subconsciously nurtured feelings

That have taken complete control

Of my whole being

Yet, I never felt better

And more free

You've always been a friend first

Then my dream lover

Because hey, you're the best

Best that I've met

So good that it was enough to be your best friend

The one you liked talking with

All the time

Day and night

But then, something did change

Not in me.

In you.

Or maybe in both of us.

I don't know.

I felt this vibe.

Felt it growing stronger

Day by day by day

And now

That you've come up to me

To say you love me

More than you love anything else

And I see you highly embarrassed

Fearful, even

You think I will reject you

What a joke!

How can I reject LIFE, LOVE

All the good that exists?

Why would I reject the one guy

That I love so much

You bring out the best in me

You make me feel loved

And adored

And beautiful

And simply, happy.

Why would I deny all that?

 

Here we are again.

In each other's arms

Lying on the soft grass

Under the starry exapnse

Stretched as far as I can see

You're warm

I've never been so comfortable before

Never at so much peace

Darkness terrifies me

Yet, I never felt so fearless before

As I do now

I hear your constant breathing

As I lay my cold cheek

Against you warm chest

And hold you closer

I know what I hold in my arms

Pure love...

lovely write my friend, keep up the good work!

[Coyote Poetry]

Nothing as good as being young and in love. I like the way the poem moved and the story in your words. A very strong ending to a excellent poem.
