Echoes of the Perplexed

Falling in love is such a perplexing concept

One day, you think you understand it

Next day you are as confused as one who just got pickpocketed

Wondering what you could have done differently

Maybe we are too focused on being scared of showing it

So we sabotage or withhold the magnitude with which we love

Maybe we don't feel ready, like we can gatekeep a force as strong as love

Then we still make the wrong moves on the basis of the same love

Loving hard and deep is a lost art today

That yearning to rest in their arms while the world pauses

Relationship sometimes cages that love

We feel they already know how we feel about them.

Feeling of incompleteness when they aren't near

Link connecting the two souls on a labrinth road

Creating a home in your heart for another soul

Eliminating that feeling you once had of wanting to be alone

Painting the possible futures with them in it

Free expression of that darkside you dread

Loving their beauty and their beast

Celebrating with them, even when there is little to make a feast

Wanting them for all they were, are and can be

Admiring their gentle river of happiness flowing within

Stealing kisses at every possibly opportunity

Waking up every day feeling blessed and not lucky.

And even with these ,I still can't express what love is to me

But I can see its works and feel its essence

Fallig in love, what a perplexing concept

Wondering if a day would come when I fully understand it
