The Feeling

The Feeling is there...this thing called love

I work to get closer to it...walking on a thin line

I want to reach it so badly I can taste it

Feel it's essence all around me

If only I could get close enough to unlock it's key

I would heal all my hidden pains and be made whole

Some say you can be blinded by love

But I believe love blinds only your past

And opens your eyes to your future with someone

Having gone through the same things, it unlocks a deeper connection

All these things and more I believe, but cannot achieve

Every time I get close to it, I fall short

Something inside me has always retaliated, shrinking back

Almost as if a part of me awakened and remembered my past

But this time, as I approach, instead of swirling around me

The Feeling bubbles and ebbs and flows from within me
