25: Infatuation

how can you tell that you're in love?

symptoms differ amongst people

but I shall share with you

how I can tell:

when you wake up in the morning

and they're on your mind,

you're in love.

see my love isn't always obvious

even to me.

I fall in love and don't realize it,

perhaps that's how you know it's real.

God and it hurts to not know

whether they love you or not,

so when considering their love versus yours

you concentrate on the latter.

so that's what I shall do. 

when you're ecstatic and joyous

and you wish to share your excitement

with one person.

when you see their golden eyes

and wishful lips in your dreams,

you're in love.

when you yearn to fall asleep in their arms,

I run to them when I'm hurt,

when you breakdown in front of them,

I feel their warmth when they're miles away,

when you feel the cliche

of butterflies and goosebumps

and feel intoxicated by them,

well at that point you can say,

I'm in love.

a/n: for some odd reason, I find writing love poems when I'm not in love rather easy.
