science takes some of the wonder out of love
We say we feel it in our hearts
But really its in our brain
Chemicals rising and falling
Making us love sick
Love is a sickness
Home sickness
For a home you’ve never known
How can you feel like your both flying high and drowning simultaneously
In both scenarios your finding it hard to breath
Then you remember your lucky to be breathing at all
It’s the adrenaline
You can feel it in your skin
Digging in
To your chagrin
Cause you had no plans on letting love in to begin with
Developing an attraction to someone
Brings out the same fight or flight reaction
That walking down a dark alley might
Dopamine rush keeps you coming back for more
Making it impossible to ignore
And as your serotonin skyrockets
And then plummets
You feel well
Thats just it
You feel
This is your brain on love
You start seeing all of the silver linings
You spend half the day wondering in your imagination wondering what the first kiss will feel like
How they will hold you at night
Ad what it will be like o not sleep alone anymore
What it will be like to not be alone anymore
And in the very same thought you think of all the things you’ll never have together
A picnic in the grass
Getting caught in the rain
The warmth of the sun
Bringing him home to meet your parents
I tried to reason with it
I try to resist
But but then the access dopamine as we made eye contact and he didn’t look away
He didn’t look away
My whole life I grasped to the ether looking for something
Anything to connect me back to this world
For something that felt a little bit like home
When I looked into his eyes
That’s exactly how I felt
Home
I was finally home
