Strange Love

Across the Room Challenge

By Merissa RosePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

It's a strange feeling;

Missing someone whom sometimes you're not entirely sure exists.

It physically hurts to go without this person.

To miss someone who is not yet yours to miss.

But they have somehow become an integral part of you in some indescribable way.

From the day this person came into your life, it was forever changed.

To fall in love with someone full tilt, no second-guessing it. You just know in your heart that is exactly what it is.

Love, Soul awakening, all-consuming Love.

And you have no idea how it came to this.

You were always so guarded, so cautious of you Soul's wishful whims, and then you are so inexplicably drawn into their enigmatic gaze.

An instant familiarity and warmth that cocooned itself around your battered cage.

All it took was a set of soulful eyes, a mischievous grin, and a single embrace, then suddenly you feel safe.

And your heart is stolen long before you know it.

Making other relationships insignificant and dull in weight.

Haunted for the rest of your days, until the end of a lifetime, and into the afterlife haze.

A Strange Love indeed has come your way.
