Can't help it

Sometimes we fight for so long against the inevitable, and find our selves free once we've let go

By Chris SantiagoPublished about 16 hours ago 1 min read

I can't help but love you.

Your smile, your style, and heart

And all the while, no distance

no miles I wouldn't start, depart

The joy I feel in just the sound

of your voice, in your smile I found

my heart beating and wholely bound

Now all this time, behind us

we no longer resist

Often I ask myself how did this persist

Yet I long for no other existence

than to be near you, hear you

to see you, need you, heal with you

About the Creator

Chris Santiago

I've always found a bit peace and release in putting word to written medium. I'm by no means an accomplished wordsmith but I find enjoyment in it. My love for writing started from world building that being a dungeon master provided.
