A Sense of Love

What love feels like to me is a leap in my chest.  It feels like tension.  A gentle pulling from opposite sides of my body.  Like a rubber band slowly stretching and releasing, my heart beats.  It feels like something I should act on, but instead must hold.  Just hold inside and feel.  Feel.  Feel.  Feel the tension.  Don't do  anything.  Just feel. To me, love tastes like a surprise.  The flavors are unfamiliar, deeply satisfying and full of delight.  I slowly savor while hoping I can binge forever.  Both are true.  Everything is true.  I want it all. What love looks like to me is madness.  Like my mind has melted into an unrecognizable mush and is misfiring left and right.  Rationality, order, logic- nowhere to be found.  Pop!  Bang!  Crack!  The embers look dangerous.  The sparks are hot. To me, love smells like my grandma's sweater.  The smell enters my body as air...
