...imagine...

imagine...

the helplessness
of love
of being
of falling
in love...

the agony
the ecstasy
the joy
the heartache
the utter helplessness

imagine...

the battle
you wage
to fight that
you resist
you withhold

surrender
and yet
it happens
mysteriously
creeping

imagine...

the fall
the drop
the plummet
the rush
the fear

the stillness
the frenzy
your thoughts
held hostage
monopolized

imagine...

the achy-ness
the loss
of control
you glance
held captive

by eyes
that mesmerize
consume
demand
command

IMAGINE!

SURRENDER
LOSS
of control
of self
of everything

as you
are held
captive
bewitched
entranced

imagine...

the crack
of heartbreak
the utter
LOSS
of all

how life
goes on
the sun
rising
and setting

imagine...

it all
and yet
to fall
to be
in love

is
the most
magnificent
feeling
of all

imagine...

I liked the last stanza the most...

I missed you
why...
I've missed YOU
Why?
Why does one miss another...
YOU feel good.
You make me feel good...
Is that a good answer?"
"Yes..."

you
you
you

Its deep and drives me crazy...

Love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current.

For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn't even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control.
