Love , I thought
would be more
electric,
The way I'd read
it in books I
imagined you'd
come and take
my breadth away
leaving me
motionless , every
hair on my body
standing still ,
The ground beneath
me sway,
I had heard of it and
knew there should've
been sparks all around
and my heartbeat
should've increased
every time I looked
at you ,
But that didn't happen
none of it did ,
Instead everything became
calm and I was able to breath
right ,
It was more like you were the
one who gave me breadth the
first time ,
There was no fire in my soul
burning through my veins
but there was one in my hearth
keeping me warm ,
taking me through the days.
