IT'S LIKE (AN EXCERPT)

JUST A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF HOW LOVE FEELS

 

It’s like

I’ve been trying to describe

What loving you is like

And the metaphors     

And the similes

Disassemble me

Cause you resemble to me

So many things

Nothing

And everything

The first cold breath of winter

The last flower’s bloom in spring

It’s like standing on the edge of a river

Grazing the water’s edge with the tips of my toes

It’s like falling with the leaves in autmn

It’s like turning in circles until I collapse

Heart racing, head spinning

It’s like listening to Lauryn’s “sweetest thing” on repeat

It’s like standing in the rain in the middle of the afternoon on a busy street while people point and whisper foolishly cause they don’t know you did this to me

It’s like every law of chemistry

Has over taken me

Since you first touched me

It’s like I’d stay awake to watch you sleep

It’s like you remove the b***h from me

With the honey that drips

From the tips

Of your fingers

It’s like

So sweet

It’s like that chill you send down my spine turns into a fire and I inflate like a hot air balloon as you blow into my….ignition. I ignite. I began to drift higher and higher past the clouds. And the hotter it gets the more I want to keep going ang going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going…till I just can’t go no more and I float back down as I cool off

It’s like whatever you do just pleas edon’t stop

It’s like a four day weekend

It’s like on some grown and sexy ish

It’s like a high school crush

It’s like we debate politics and then carve our names on a picnic table after a quickie in the park like we ain’t both got our own beds at home

It’s like my favorite color

It’s like my favorite shirt.

It’s like my I just did laundry and realized my favorite panties are clean

It’s like my favorite holiday

It’s like I’d give you T.M.I.

It’s like a bath after a 31 hour day with my favorite bubbles and a throwback glass of Strawberry Hill while the 96.1 Sweat Hotel serenades the steam emitted from my

Draining tub as I rub Egyptian Musk oil across my calves….

It’s like I am taken away

It’s like you resemble

Nothing

Yet everything
