She asked if I've ever been in love.
I said wouldn't you like to know?
It was magical and scary and the feelings were surreal.
Though I never knew if it was truly real.
It felt like fairytale gone oh so wrong.
With heart stomping and teeth gritting and voices so sore from all the yelling.
It only lasted for about a year, but that year was the best by far.
I know I was naive, we both were, but it's not my fault that the chemistry was just there. Maybe it wasn't, but it wasn't nothing. It was something that I don't know if I'll have again. He was my best friend.
I thought it was forever, but the more we grew apart the more I learned it was never.
Though after a year we found one another and everything was still there. All the laughs and the jokes and the love I felt once before.
It was sitting right in front of me but I could barely reach out to grasp it by the throat.
Everyone asked why I'd come back to him.
I said it was sign!
That true love finds its way again if two hearts were meant to be intertwined.
I remembered that feeling as soon as we talked. It never went away!
But the feelings were lost in a cloud of dust and disappeared like the whole thing was a magician's scene.
Maybe that's were the magic took part.
All this screamed inside my brain, it wanted to get out.
It wanted to be free from the prison that's my heart.
My passion is love and love is a passion.
I can talk about it for hours like I can talk about him and never get tired.
Though I looked at her once more with her curious eyes waiting for my answer and I simply shrugged and said I have no idea.

This is my try at a slam poem (:
