The Signs of Being in Love

When eyes constantly meet—connected like a circle with no end,
You can’t help but fall deeper with every breath, as if it were your last.
Smiling to yourself, memories fresh in your mind:
The touch… the kiss… the feelings in sync, heart pounding so fast.

When will I see you again? Your mind and heart wage a battle,
Struggling for the words to express,
Words that flee your mouth like butterflies escaping unwanted hands.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning, eyes slowly close,
And your image appears, as though you never left.
When Cupid fires his arrow, you see a midnight sky without end,
Stars shining a little brighter, and a moon that makes your heart sing.

A spirit ignited into a mighty fire, a flame seen from afar
These are the signs of being in love… rich in depth, vast in span.
Your heart no longer lies at rock bottom,
But soars higher than an eagle in flight.

You touch the clouds of passion, shown love on a supreme level.
It’s like making love on a beach,
Feeling the grains of sand stick to your skin,
Where no one exists but you and I.

You see that person in everything you do;
You no longer feel alone, but part of a greater plan.
No longer drowning in quicksand, sinking deeper—
You look up, reaching for a strong hand.

Embraced in arms that are warm… a shelter of all shelters,
Two souls no longer drifting in space alone,
But journeying together in harmony,
Recognizing the signs of being in love… and never letting go.
