Could It Be Love
Who has the ability to make me catch my breath,
Increase my steady heartbeat,
Send a wave of warmth deep into my core.
The answer is simple, you can.
I’ve always had these strong steel walls built around my heart.
A strong shield that no one has ever been able to break.
Many have tried, as many will, but I held fast, I stood strong, forever afraid of getting hurt.
Yet somehow you've managed to melt the metal wall, somehow you were able to break through.
Everyday more and more of that wall deteriorates,
Falls into a deep abyss of what could be.
I find myself more open with you.
I can express myself, share the depth of my feelings for you.
I find myself more secure, not only in what we have and your feelings for me, but also in myself.
I’ve never felt so good about who I am before.
You bring out the best in me.
With you, I endlessly want to be a better person.
A person who feels worthy of you.
I don’t feel like I’ve done enough good to have you in my life.
It truly is the greatest gift to know you even remotely care about me.
I can’t even describe the affect you have on me.
Oh, how your laugh sends chills up my spine?
I don’t know what it is, but its the best laugh of anyone I know.
I absolutely love it when you look at me.
Those pretty green eyes, man, at these moments life is incredible.
And the very few, short moments that you've touched me; playfully punching my arm
or crossing my fingers to prove a point.
Some of the best moments of my life.
If I think of you while eating, I immediately lose my appetite.
If I think of you at all, a huge smile finds its way onto my face.
I think of you all day and clear into the night.
I sometimes dream of you, ridiculous pointless dreams, but dreams no less.
You have such a hold on me that I know without you somewhere in my messy, crazy life, I would have no life at all.
My friends make fun of me, say things about how I act, but they don’t understand how it feels to see you or just to be near you.
They don’t understand at all.
How can anyone feel so strongly about someone?
How can my life feel so complete with you or incomplete when you’re gone?
There’s such a thing called love,
Such a thing so beautiful and pure its God’s only way of life for us.
A way to better ourselves.
Some might say what I’m feeling isn’t love itself, but why does it feel so much like it?
Why does it feel so real?
Better yet, why does it feel so perfect?
Not a tint of poisonous toxins within.
So I ask, could it be love?
