Love or infatuation

I see the people around me

becoming engulfed by the feeling of love and infatuation

they become hurt

they become confused

they become lost...

all I can do is listen to their pain

listen

listen

somethings cannot be repaired by simple words

somethings cannot be cured by the medicine man

somethings cannot be changed by actions taken

all that can happen is to wait

but the pain of waiting is excruciating

in reality it is not simple

it is not favorable

It is heart wrenching

and indescribable

I cannot explain the pain

to be heartbroken

to be infatuated

to be as lonesome as one who is

the only one who feels enough for both

I would create a parachute to catch you when you fall

cause that's how I am

but the intensity of the fall

depends on how close you have gotten to the sky

the closer you are the longer the fall

the more lost and light headed you get

from being too far off the ground

I want to ground you and lead you towards your desire

but the need you have for your first love is overpowering

there Is another who may capture your heart

if you let it so...

I understand your mind is confused

your heart is unpredictable

but you are noble

let yourself become who you are

don't extend far heights for someone who does not appreciate you

you are far more inclined to have someone fall for you

and give the space in their heart to you

cause they truly care...

they truly love

the side of which you show to others and yourself

the glow of you

has transfixed their gaze

could you let them in and let them love

the one you are and the one others see you as

is the same

a hopeless romantic you may be

but it might be time for someone to love you back...

to be there when you need

that hand to hold and intertwine with

the warmth of a hug from someone of love

you needn't be strong forever with this love you hold onto...

the sunshine that comes after a year of rain

illuminates the happiness that has long to be discovered....
