I think the feeling

Of falling in love is like

A marshmallow.

Fluffy

Soft

Sweet

And light as a cloud.

And love can be with anything

Like caramel

Strawberry sauce

Hot fudge

Rainbow sprinkles

As sweet as can be.

I think the feeling

of falling in love

is unexpected

And spontaneous

Like sticking your tongue

In the jar of sugar as a little child

And taking it out

Coated with

White and crystallized

Sweet sweet sugar.

I think I’ve developed

A sweet tooth for  you.

Water is clear

And clean

Oil is yellowish

And greasy

Water and oil don’t mix

They bubble together

And after sitting for a bit

They separate again

If you drink water

You feel nice and refreshed

If you drink oil

You feel gross and sick

Water can wash away

Dried tomato sauce

If you try using oil to clean

It messes the mess up more

Oil is used for frying

Fried foods that make you feel heavy

Water can lighten anything up

And make you feel great

Oil and water are too different

They don’t mix well

They don’t relate

They’re complete opposites

But I guess that’s what people mean

When they say opposites attract

As different as you are

There’s always a chance

What does it mean

When you feel electricity

Sparking at the ends of your fingertips

And suddenly everything around you glows

Like the glimpse of a light bug

In the surrounding dark of night?

And what does it mean

When you feel like your feet are floating

Above the ground

As if you’re soaring freely through the sky

But still staying stationary

In the same spot you encountered?

How is it possible

That I may actually

Feel like I am melting

Into a single puddle

Of water on a warm clear day

After a long night of rain?

I don’t understand

What you mean

When you say that all I am feeling

Is merely an emotion

And  that I’m not really turning into a superhero

And that it’s just falling in love.
