love on your side

I am stuck,
in love with the girl,
who makes perfect sense,
even if,
it’s just for me.
She’s the one
I call all my own,
I don’t know,
if it is
fake or real now.
He said,
you’re the only one
I’ve ever truly loved,
which is why,
I stay so silent
and still inside.
I’m not sure
she knows
how the ache
truly builds.
Honestly now,
who truly understands
how another feels
or what it means
to be in love.
She stood there
locked and looking
squarely in his eyes,
he said,
I love you.
She looked up
balanced on tiptoes
she said,
I love you too.
The photos
that only she
can produce
are true beauties.
I swear
on her alone
she understands
what it means
to be yourself.
I am unable to feel
outside her arms
our love-sessions
remind us both
we can’t walk away
without the kiss
of a little pain.
I could hide
inside my emotions,
yet, unlike all the rest
my heart
would be
forever-torn.
She had me promise
I’d love her alone
and let the others
rightfully
walk on their own.
That was until,
her accidental return
a chance meeting
bumping into her.
The days are laughing now
knowing I must wait until
she convinces herself
love lasts
until forever
or more.
