| There’s a type of madness growing in my heart, in my soul Something I can’t contain, that I’ll never be able to stop It makes me weak every time I think of him I feel my chest clench, and it makes it hard to breathe I’m not sure of what it might be, For it’s a feeling I can’t explain, Different from anything I have ever experienced Not bad, not sure if it’s good either It makes me want to do foolish things Like write poetry, and sit and just watch the world pass I’m no longer content just lying in bed alone I feel the craving to be with him To feel him next to me, knowing he’s watching me Keeping me safe from harm When I look into my future, it’s hard to picture it without him in it And as I look back at my past I begin to wonder how I ever got by without him by my side Could this be what everyone waits for? Could this be what all my friends have been talking about? Could this feeling of self-less sacrifice, be what I think it could be? Is this what love feels like, or am I still disillusioned? Won’t someone help me figure this out, can’t someone just tell me What I’m supposed to feel I’ve read all the books And I’ve asked around, but no answer can suffice But when I look into his eyes So strong, so sure of everything My fears are calmed, my heart is settled For now I know, that all I feel Can only be one thing It’s friendship, companionship It’s knowing he’ll be by my side throughout life It’s a kiss goodnight, and a face to wake up to It’s a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on It’s a father to my child, and my lover in bed It’s love sweet love |
