When I Was in Love

A Poem

It’s the feeling of your arm

As it slowly loses sensation

And drifts into pricks and pins of sleep

It’s the feeling of awe

When the sun dips down to hug the horizon

And blushes so brilliantly

It turns the whole world red.

It’s the feeling of true expression

That I feel when I lace up pointe shoes

And let all emotions rein my limbs

It’s the feeling of pure beauty

When you look in the mirror

And truly smile about something

It’s the look in your eyes

When you turn to me before drifting to sleep

And whisper so delicately

I love you

It’s the feeling of your stomach

Dropping to your toes

As the rollercoaster lurches

From the platform

It’s a plane before lift off

It’s the reflection of the sky in a pond

It’s the look of a small kid with ice cream

It’s the feeling I get

After a long night at the computer

As I curl up beneath blankets

And feel the blood rush back to my hands

It’s the feeling I get

When I climb into my hoodie

And the warmth spreads

From my head to my toes

It’s the smell of warm apple pie

And the way it makes you smile

Even on those give up days

It’s the feeling of purest joy

It’s the feeling of love.
