Love Poem: No Escaping It

No Escaping It

You can’t escape it
The erratic breaths you take
The swell of your heart
The butterflies in your tummy

It may happen once or become a reoccurrence
The instant high
The tingles on your skin
And the thoughts of always wanting to be with them

Love doesn’t spare you
The ones who haven’t yet felt it
And those who’ll feel it once again,
Once love enters your heart, the craving won’t end

You’ll always seek it
The preference of being in their company
The late-night talks that last for hours
And never wanting to be alone

It may come with pain
The heartache of losing their love
The struggle of sustaining a relationship
And the constant worry of not being good enough

Give it your all
The love, the pain, the compassion,
The uncertainty, the pleasure, the selflessness,
And trust it will guide you through
