When In Love You Feel? Poem by Dustin Halchin

Ive held others before,
But it was never like this,
Where my body inhales you
And quivers with bliss,

Where my senses are reeling
From the strength of desire,
And if I can’t have you soon,
I’ll be consumed by the fire

If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace,
I couldn’t be content.

If not for you, Id never have
The pleasures of romance.
Id miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of loves sweet, silly dance.

I have to feel your tender touch,
I have to hear your voice,
No other one could take your place,
You’re it; I have no choice.

If not for you, Id be adrift;
I don’t know what Id do,
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.

Before I met you,
I thought I was happy,
and I was,
but I had never known

the rich contentment,
deep satisfaction,
and total fulfillment
you brought to me
when you came into my life.

Before I met you,
I felt a lot of things,
good things,

but I had never experienced
the indescribably intense
feelings I have for you.

Before I met you,
I thought I knew myself,
and I did,
but you looked deep inside me
and found fresh new things
for us to share.

Before I met you,
I thought I knew about love,
but I didn’t,
until I met you.
