How to Know if You’re in Love

 

If you suddenly see someone

And feel a smile in your heart

A change inside you

From here on a new start

 

Your thoughts fixated

All on that new face

Now your heart overflows

What had been an empty space

 

Everything else out of focus

Except the source of that smile

Paralyzed where you stand

Awestruck for awhile

 

Poetic words of beauty

Inundate your mind

All falling into place

To describe this rare find

 

And upon your lips

A name repeated over and over

Your weak in the knees

A feeling of less than sober

 

This my friends

Is how it begins

When you fall in love

Praying it never ends
