what do you do when...?



you love someone
SO much to see them leave would crush you. when you realize that you have never loved someone the way you LOVE this 1 person but you feel as if you're getting closer and closer to losing that person. and the harder you try to keep them the further away they seem to get? when they've got you open like fire hydrants in the summer. when you pour out your all to them? when you're ready to give/show them every last nook cranny and corner of your soul. when everything you are is laid at their feet? when you've changed everything you were and are to make this 1 person happy. when you're willing to turn your back on theENTIRE world just to make that 1 person happy? when all you want to do is make them happy? ready to give any and everything just to satisfy them. the one person who can make you smile when nobody else can. nobody before them could handle the depth & strength of you feelings and you feel as if nobody that would ever come after them could. to get back the happiness that was there in the beginning. when you weren't so grown up? when you couldn't understand their moods thru a single texted or spoken word. when you used to fight likecats and dogs. when you snapped on them for the simplest reasons. when you used to fight every other day? what do you do when you feel as if you're relationship couldn't get any better. no more fighting no more stupid arguments but yet you still don't feel as if everything is okay? one day yall all smiles and boo loving all day and the next yall snappin at each other over exactly. nothing. when you and they are together nobody else exists. you know there are people around but you don't see them because you're too busy staring in their eyes? when just thinking of losing them or them cheating on you makes you want to break down and cry? when you know you'll NEVER be the same if they left. that you'd never give your heart to another if they ever broke it? what do you do when you feel that everything you worked for is slipping away and you can'tSTOP it? every single little meaningless argument pushes you an increment closer to the edge of nothingness? like a freight train on a styrofoam cup? when you can't get mad at what they do because it's EXACTLY what you used to do? how do you deal with the doubt? the fear? the loneliness? the unshed tears? when you feel as if you're one second, minute, hour, day, missed phone call, argument, conversation-less day away from being single. this close to losing them? how do you cry when you want to SO bad but you've been so emotionally damaged that you're tear ducts barely work? and finally. when the love you feel is everything you thought it would be and nothing you imagined. when it lifts you beyondeverything and buries you deeper than anything. when it drowns you slowly andresuscitates you swiftly. its an emotion that trillions of people have felt butNOBODY can agree on what it is or how to explain it? why is it that our hearts can be so strong for every other emotion feeling and mood. but for love. for love. its so fragile. like the hollow shell of a bird egg? or ancient paper? ready to crumble into dust at the slightest touch? and WHY does love hurt so MUCH?
