Sometimes, when I look into your eyes,
gravity abandons me.
Funny how, even after a lifetime,
one look from you makes me feel
as if I’m walking on air.
And on those days
when everything seems off-balance,
your smile reminds me
that my feet are planted firmly on the ground.

A delightful love poem💖… lovely contrast.

You explain love so well - we all need -and deserve - someone who makes us soar but also grounds us. Brill challenge entry.

Beautiful metaphors for love - that which sweeps you off your feet, as well as sets you gently back on them. Bravo, Cathy! :)
