Do You?

Do you ever get that feeling
when your heart has finished healing
when you're writing *That person's* name
over and over; always the same
trying different ways
and hoping that they
are the *one*
comparable to all but none.
When you hope their truth
is actually true.
That the look in their eyes
was never a lie.
Hopin' to see
in your future; they'll be.
Where to every love song
you both belong.
in every story
it's never boring
cause they're there to
right there beside you
til the very end
not just pretend.
No fairy tale
everything real.
Not a dream
if it is you'll scream
and cry
hopin' to die
but it's not
an ink blot
undiscernable
from the letter jumble.
It's reality
but you can't believe
something this good
possibly ever could
show up at your door
without knockin' you on the floor.
You know it's real
but you don't WANT to feel
cause you know it'll hurt
more than swallowin' gallons of dirt.
Like you're burnin' alive
but on the outside
you keep it together
and smile now and forever...
