What is this feeling?

This hunger for his blood inside my mind?

That etches a path through my veins.

Blocking out everything in sight except him.

The one who just pulled a joke on me.

But then something weird happens.

My heart is thumping inside my chest.

My blood is slowly turning to ice.

As that one person turns to smile at me.

What is this feeling?

I am stuttering as I try to speak.

A cold sweat runs down my back.

Is it just me, or is the air thick or something?

And since when did he look so handsome?

What is this feeling?

He laughs lightly at my nervousness.

And tells me it is just fine.

We can all mature as we grow older.

And see each other in a different light.

What is this feeling?

He is walking away now.

The person who I thought I loathed.

Yet why does it feel like my heart is breaking in two.

As his figure becomes smaller in the room.

What is this feeling?

He sits by his best bud again.

As another round starts between the two.

My spirit is conflicted.

I thought I hated him, what do I do?

What is this feeling?

Now though, as I watch him enjoy himself.

As I watch the way he focuses on the screen.

A small smile works its way onto my face.

As I turn around to leave.

What is this feeling?

Sure, he might have been childish at times.

But he at least knew when to be mature.

And even though we had known each other for years.

Protected each other since the day we met.

I found this feeling rising in me like a berth.

What is this feeling?

It is Love.
