Love Through A Couple's Eyes

A Poem I wrote about my boyfriend and I. The way we see and feel about things.

It feels so good, but hurts so bad
People fall in and out of it scared out of their wits
They never heal completely and always have that ache
It makes people do crazy things
It builds their character and proves their strength
Making it in and out unscathed is impossible
People handle it differently
Some cry and some get infuriated
One person smiles
The other wonders where the feeling will take them
One plans for the future
The other is afraid of being hurt again
One laughs and carries on
The other quietly thinks of all the “what-if’s”
One thinks about the marriage and the kids
The other is scared to find out if that will really work
It feels so good, but hurts so bad
One is anxiously waiting
The other is scared of the possible outcomes
