How do you love someone?
Without crying? Without dying little deaths every day?
Or do you immerse your whole being into theirs,
As they lay abreast, playful, and caressing your hair?
Have you ever loved someone?
Until your body shivered at their presence
Mind quivered in their absence
Unsure of this insanity and dethatched from reality?
How do you love someone?
Without a fight? Without wanting to kill them at times?
Or do you just daze out into their eyes between arguments
Make love until you erase off all your embarrassments?
Have you ever loved someone?
Until you gasped for air amidst bawling
Wished you were dead but longed to hug them
Think a million ways to run but never take a step away from them?
How do you love someone?
Without cursing them? Without ripping off your own skin?
Or do you just sway together clumsily on the kitchen floor,
Stepping on toes while the food burns on the stove?
Have you ever loved someone?
Until you sacrifice your need to be with them?
Purposely make them hate you till their grave,
Just so they can have a normal life with somebody else.
