“The Way You Make Me Feel”

As I sit here thinking of us,
I feel a pain, a longing,
Deep within my heart.
It permeates me entirely
And just when I feel I cannot
Take anymore, the pain
Ignites into passion
Spreading, opening me up
Like a lotus blossoming
Into forever.
This must be love, I think to
Myself, for I have never felt
More alive, more vibrant,
More beautiful.
