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
