Love is in the Air

HeartfullyFallen

"Love is in the air"
People say it all the time
A couple here
A couple there...
Love is in the air.

But what does that mean?
What is love?

I'm sure I know love
I don't know what it feels like
But I'm sure I know it
But whatever it is
One of the couples of there
Say it's in the air

Like it's contagious.
Like if you walk too close you'll want a kiss too
And that's why
my love
It's not for you

I sit alone on my park bench
The park bench contaminated with the
Floating love
A lovely park bench
Waiting for you, my love
To show
But I'm alone
The love in the air suffocates me
Is that what love feels like?
Suffocating?

The couple over here
They kiss
I gag
Why?
The love radiating off of them
In the air
The couple over there
They kiss
They stare at me
My love bench
Empty
I kiss my hand and give them the bird
I walk away

  • Comment from author about the poem: I feel like this one is a little hard to find my meaning for, so I'll give you a little hint. It's not exactly about love, it's more about having a "love" and feeling fake with it. Like falling out of love. Being in a relationship and having no reason to ending it but having no reason to stay. It's about faking your love.
