"All That is Gold Does Not Glitter"

Can you love someone you just met?
Can a connection between two new people be so perfect
So intense
So great
That there is instantly love!?

Or is what I’m feeling left over emotions from my last relationship?!

Am I just replacing one warm body for the next?
Rolling over love from before and picking up where I left off?!

I want to tell you I love you.
I want to feel more.
I want to kiss you deeper.
I want to hold you just a little closer.
I want to tell you I miss you when I’m not near you.

But truth is..
I’m not sure how I am supposed to feel about you.
I wasn’t expecting to meet someone I could fall in love with.
You have taken me completely by surprise
And yet I can’t help but feel this isn’t brand new at all.
Could we be connected on a cosmic level?
Is it possible that we are from the same star?

I can’t explain it, but I feel safe with you.
I feel comfortable with you.
Yet I am stuck with not knowing how or where you will fit into my life..
Simultaneously filling every waking moment with you!

I don’t know what feelings I can spare
Or what part of my heart is whole enough to hold you.

****
All I know
IS
With you
My soul feels alive
AND
I like
Who I am
When I’m next to you.
