I'm not in love
all the time
because
if I were,
I'd either fall out of it
eventually,

but

when I'm just feeling
the happiness of love, 
most days are good
in the beginning, 
but
there comes a point when
I forget I'm in love,
and I forget I am that man with
the burning heart, and the burning soul,
but then I listen to love songs at
11pm in my car with the windows rolled down,
I look at the sunrise or the sunset,
I read the love poetry of Pablo Neruda
(only the happy love poems),
I sit silently in a room full of people
and watch them laugh, and I, too, laugh,
I watch her eyes as if they're about to 
tell me everything I need to know, 
I sit next to her in the most comfortable silence
I have ever experienced,

and it all comes back to me
every single time,
and I close my eyes,
knowing 
the love is there again
as if it never left

and it's a good feeling, 
I tell you.
