Love is
Slipping on a bottle
And then right as
You regain your balance,
Slipping on a rug,
Crashing to the hard,
Cold ground.
Love is
When you fall,
Sometimes there is
That cold hard ground
And you end up bruised
And broken
And maybe sometimes
A little bloody.
Love is
When there is no fall
Instead there is a warm hand
Yanking you back up
And a soft encouraging smile
Telling you
“Get back up. You can do it.
I believe in you.”
Love is
When you ride on
A rollercoaster
And you rush up the hill
To the very top
And you feel as though
You can touch the sun
And moon and stars.
Then you go rushing down
And down
And down
And you scream,
You are both afraid and happy.
Love is
That fuzzy butterfly feeling
In your stomach
Right after the hill
Of the rollercoaster,
That you enjoy and hate.
Love is
Everything
And nothing
All at once.
Love is
Unpredictable
Unforgivable
Terrifying
Exhilarating
Love is
Like a rollercoaster
It has it’s ups and downs
But sometimes
Love can be amazing.
