2. Love

2. Love

A Poem by DuttonJ

I need to tell you something,

Gotta get it off my mind.

I’ve been in love for a while,

In fact, for a long time.


And while this confession

Might seem typical,

I can assure you

That it’s not at all.


See I’m in love with love.


What’s it like to tell someone, “I love you?”

What’s it like to hear them say it back?

How’s it feel to have their arms around you?

Tell me, is there something that I lack?

I’m in love with

Holding hands, long walks

And sun-kissed beaches.

Paris,double beds, and long, long

Nights that end up sleepless.


Other girls, they tell me

I’m not missing out,

But no matter what they say,

I refuse to doubt.


Cause I’ll have it someday.


What’s it like to know that you’re not alone?

To have all of forever in your hands?

What’s it like to wake up next to “the one?”

Is all of this something that I could have?


My heart yearns for soft, strong arms,

Warm smiles and intense gazes.

Hands to dry my bitter tears,

And guide me through life’s mazes.


When you’ve never had

A lover of your own

You wonder if eternity

Is all alone.


What’s it like to tell someone, “I love you?”

What’s it like to hear them say it back?

How’s it feel to have their arms around you?

Tell me, is there something that I lack?


What’s it like to know that you’re not alone?

To have all of forever in your hands?

What’s it like to wake up next to “the one?”

Is all of this something that I could have?
