A Spark of New Feelings

These new feelings and thoughts
Lingering and blossoming inside
Of a shy glance to the ground
And a feeling of knowing.

Knowing that we are right for each other
But knowing it is more complicated than it seems
And not being able to do anything about it
Confused in the shear thought of it all.

But knowing that we belong together
Feeling the explosion that is love
Feeling that it is right
And these new feelings creeping up on me

Plucking at the heart-strings
Twisting the stomach into a ball;
Like a kitten with its ball of yarn.

Propagating themselves into one's mind
As his sweet, shy glance drops suddenly
And caught in lover's gaze looking away in confusion.

The dilemma heavy in the air and in the heart
Of what was once a happy look between friends..
Now yearning and hurt is stamped on the other's face
Turmoil and confusion written in one's own.

But these new feelings
Travelling from the pit of the stomach
Directly into the heart and reverberating in its depths
Finding its home.

A great sensation of tired euphoria
For love has finally decided to spread its wings in the heart.

All fear dissipated, substituted with pure happiness.
No matter what the uncertainties
For the feeling to finally show itself is enough,
Is all I need.

The feeling of breathlessness
Is beautiful in its own special way
Oh, to feel this way forever
Would be one's only dream…

The ball of light burning brightly in one's heart
Rekindled after so many years of being extinguished.

Wanting to join his lips with mine
To wrap my arms around his neck
In the midst of a sunny autumn day – forgotten from the world.
To hold him and for him to be only mine

Those beautiful eyes to gaze upon me with pure love
And for them to tell me they will be mine forever
For them to look deep into my soul
And know me inside-out without having to say a word.

But I am afraid…
Afraid you will say you can't
That your heart belongs to another

Oh to be able to be fearless
And to know the end resolve
To this heart-wrenching game that is love
But sometimes the best things come only in moments…

A need to protect these new feelings
To safeguard them, lock them away in a tower
But I cannot, and I cannot be away from him
It is too great; we cannot ban the heart from longing

It is against our nature and to our will an accomplice
Is it a crime then to love?
