Love Essence- (This is an Ode to the Classic Tale of Romeo and Juliet)
I wanna see you shine
I wanna see you breathe life into the universe
Cause lately it feels like it’s falling apart
I got your name tattoed on my heart
But you are more than 10,000 miles away
I got your name tattoed on my heart
But you are more than 10,000 miles away
I know you still think of me
Day and night
Night through the day
Days passing through to the night
Cause if love is only a feeling
We wouldn’t be thinking about each other
So it makes me wonder if we truly love each other or not?
Is it just hormones clicking or is it true attraction?
Life partners to the very end or short moments that won’t even last?
We don’t have any of the answers
Just questions
Cause you been running through my mind recently
Heart to mind
Mind to heart
Every inch covered, cause I’m reminiscing about the time I spent with you
The memories created, the bonds related
You know I love you,
And I know you love me,
You showed me what love meant, and you touched my heart
Cause the universe feels so infinite but with you, it’s finite
An added touch, an added purpose
Am I in over my head or my soul?
They say mind over matter
But shouldn’t it go heart over matter?
Or matter over mind?
Or mind over heart?
Or heart over mind?
Just questions running through my head
As you run through my head
Every day, every moment, every breath I take based on the premise of loving you
You may be far away from me and I may be far away from you
But you’re with me in spirit
You touched my heart
You touched my soul
And you still do even though you’re not present with me
Cause you are present with me
A figment of my imagination
A part of my present
And a key of my future
If love is only a feeling
Why does every moment feel like it’s dedicated to you?
Why does every step and every breath correlate to your existence?
Cause as I sit down and ponder about the way you articulate words
And do your hair
You got me thinking
You got me thinking
I might have just fallen in love
But is love only a feeling?
Is love created in the eyes of the lover or the lovers?
Is love a figment of my creation, my obsession?
Paralyzing my thoughts,
These questions are running and running
I can’t stop the heat from coming
Lost in the moment, the heat, it’s getting to me
It’s feeling me, it’s losing me
It’s creating me, igniting me,
And losing me, and losing me, and losing me,
So I ask thou a question once more, is love real?
Or is it just a feeling?
Is love only a feeling?
Cause I fell in love with you before even I knew you,
And I don’t believe in true love,
But your eyes caught mine before I could even take my first breath,
Staring into my soul,
My watcher, my soulful, articulate companion
Through this life and the next
Love me and pull me close to you
You ignite me like no other
You contrive me like no other
You derive me like no other
I won’t ever forget you
I won’t ever stop loving you
A thousandfold
A thousandfold
Cause you are the poison to my heart
My kryptonite
My sole weakness
Paralyzing my heart
I’m stumbling, I’m stuttering
I’m shaking, I’m falling
But you catch me time and time again
But you catch me time and time again
An articulate creation of mine or a real presence in the mind, body, heart, and soul?
Is love contrived through the four or created by the four?
The mind, the body, the heart, the soul
The mind, the body, the heart, the soul
Contrived within one another
Derived within one another
Cause my existence is created from you
My sole purpose is you
My sole pain is you
My sole creation is you
Cause if the people you love truly reflect you, you are a reflection of me
And I am a reflection of you
And then I can never forget you
I’ll always love you
You’re more than a figment of my imagination, my creation
Because you bring out the core love in my heart, the pure love
You bring about the most valuable part of my existence
My purest love, my deepest love, my most painful love
I carry this love
I carry it for you
I am a custodian of love
I build structures of love
To protect myself and convince myself that I am not worthy of love
But as I tear down these structures, I have a desire to share my love with you
I have a desire to make it more than a feeling
Instead, an active choice, a conscious choice
To vibe and be told
Lose control of time
As I strip away my mechanisms of control
I allow you to love me more and I love myself more
You allow yourself to love me more, and you love yourself more
Fear, passion, excitement all running through my mind when I think of you
I fall off a cliff around you
And my mind tries to protect my love, to not share it with you
But I can’t push you out of mind
Cause you see, I recognize our beautiful structures of love that we build in our minds
I recognize the humiliation, embarrassment, and vulnerability
And they limit me in the way I share my love with you
But I fell in love with you and I expressed my heart to you
I am not in control of my love structures, my love mechanisms
I am consciously aware of the way I love you
And I know our love overwhelms
It scares, it makes us vulnerable
But to vibe and be told
I’ll never forget you and I’ll never forget watching the sunrise with you
I’ll always share my love with you
And you’ll always share your love with me
We maximize the love we give to each other
And we use our beautiful love structures to protect ourselves
Yet we recognize that we must preserve our love
A love lasting for generations
Our love is not limited
It is co-existed
Our love is not a figment of imagination
It’s a reality
So as I proclaim my love for you through time
Time and time again
Time tries to defeat me
But it can never defeat the hold you have on my heart
I fell for you and you fell for me
You touched my heart and I touched yours
This love will last through generations
Cause I love you more than I love, love
A thousandfold
A thousandfold
A thousandfold
A thousandfold
