Love Poem: Initial Definition

Initial Definition

When you're next to love, 

just a few steps from love…

It's more like being on the courts, 

crossing the ball between your legs

But to him you still look sexy in some nylon basketball shorts


Loophole:


"In love" is when you fall into a place so deep that you can't get out

You find yourself scared from not knowing if they feel the same way 

and on the inside you're shouting it out


Obsession: 


Being close to love consists of cute dates

Trips to see cinema 

And later you get him a 

Gift, you start writing your name on pieces of paper in script

And next to your name, you proudly place his initials

But this is typically at the beginning 

so this stage is of course 

                   initial.


Validity:


Then things start to become real.

Your insides start learning to feel

And your heart needs recovery 

after a few surgeries that require it to heal.


Epiphany:


I rather be next to love

Because it gets too complex to love

And sometimes you don't win when you're "in"…
