Poetry
by Kiley McMahon ’20
I have never been in love,
but I know what it looks like,
feels like, and sounds like.
It is appealing on the outside,
sweet and content on the inside;
nobody can compare
to the one true love of your life.
Your two hearts beat harmoniously and in unison,
as if they could jump out of your synonymous chest
at any given moment.
Your palms sweat and your stomach fills with butterflies
when your love enters the room;
nobody can compare
to the one true love of your life.
It sounds like, “For you,
I will live eternally,
through good times and through bad,
through happiness, and through illness.”
“I love you” is a statement often implicit on the first date,
not thinking twice about whether or not you truly love
your one true companion, that is for life.
