February 9

I was still trying to talk

myself out of love.

Then I discovered

that your heart and soul

were connected to mine.

A place hidden behind closed doors

for oh so long.

I never would have known.

Love had always hurt me,

it wasn’t real or true,

stupid romance novels,

portraying a false image of this

so called masterpiece of life.

Your love is different.

It comforts, protects,

nourishes, and prospers

while in relation of our hearts.

Something I never knew existed.

Chances are risky

but worth it in the end.

I thought with my heart

not my mind.

It was the right thing to do,

it led me here, to this moment,

here and now with you

and for once I feel like

I’m where I’m supposed to be.

you seemed to have natural fluidness of self expression, something i struggle with-- your poems are understandable, relatable, but not plain nor boring
