To know Love

If you've ever thought you could be in love but weren't sure if words of love were ready to be exchanged, I'm sure you can relate!

I've never been here before.

I've never stood so close to Love

to admire her remarkable stare.

So close that I could lean in

to whisper a secret in her ear.

So close that I could reach 

out and touch her hand.

Only few who have caught a glimpse

could fully understand.

I've never been so scared before.

I've never met someone so intimidating

yet so idolized and adored.

I've never so blatantly gazed upon

something and still wondered if it were real.

Scared to let her fill me with emotion.

I've never been more afraid to feel.

I glorify her in my daily thoughts.

I wish her to be constantly in my world.

A dear friend always by my side.

No longer a lonely dreaming girl.

Though, before I'd ever seen her

I longed to know her name.

When it seemed she was never coming

I felt I was to blame.

In love with the thought of Love,

I'd adorned her with my dreams.

when I'd wake I'd feel an emptiness

breaking me at the seams.

Now I've finally found a heart

that I could call my home.

Love lives so near that I

could call her name 

but would she grace my abode?
