Love Poetry: This Feeling

by Sara Zavorka

'What is this?
What is this?
This strange feeling that I’ve never felt before.
Do I have need to rejoice, or should I instead begin to fear?
I’ve never experienced this in the past, it must be quite rare.
It’s like… I can’t let go of that image of him,
I’m loving even his flaws, his every whim.
My heart skips a beat when his name is spoken aloud,
He receives an award, and even I become quite proud.
I get an e-mail, a MySpace message, comment, or a phone call,
My head wants it to be him, though I know it not to be the truth at all.
This feeling is strange,
It is indescribable,
Irrevocable,
Weird beyond belief,
All of the sudden I am randomly smiling,
Making sure when I go out, I always look nice.
I don’t know how to describe it,
But when I walk through the hallways,
I look for him, and hope, always.
It’s like a virus that can’t go away,
A special place in my heart that is forever to stay.
I barely talk to him but when I do,
It’s like the world revolves around just us two.
He doesn’t know, he possibly can’t,
For what if he doesn’t feel this way,
If word got out, I fear I’d go on a rant!
I try to keep myself from drawing little hearts all about,
And putting my first name with his last to see how it turns out.
I try to avoid imagining,
Dreaming,
Day and night about solely him.
I can’t decide I love him yet, that would practically be a sin!
But what if I talked to him?
Or should I wait until he talks to me?
Can shy me make the first move?
Or should I simply let it be?
This feeling is oh-so frustrating,
It fills my brain, and continually haunts me.
I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to say,
So far I’ve just taken it little, day-by-day.
But what if…?
Could it possibly be…?
Would we make it…?
Can I afford to wait and see…?
What is this?
What is this?
This strange feeling built up inside of me,
Clouding my eyes and not letting me see,
Anything else but only him and me.
What is this feeling?
Does it have a name?
Why did I of all people,
Get swept up in such a mind-bending game?
Perhaps it is the Love Bug that has come to town…
Alright me, calm yourself down,
Many people have experienced this before.
Remember, all’s fair in love and in war.
Love…?
LOVE?!
Could it possibly be?
Is that what has suddenly taken over me?'
