I FOUND LOVE

I FOUND LOVE 

i found love,

it was wrapped around your name, 

it spoke exactly like I imagined it would, 

it shouted silently, 

it screamed softly 

and it called my name, letter by letter… 

till I heard its whispers tickle my ear. 

i found love,

wrapped around your finger, 

pointing in my direction, 

watching my every step

as I bounce on the Earth’s belly

i found love,

wrapped around you,

dreaming in the middle of the day, 

making me the subject of its stories, 

finding me, in both realms. 

i found love, 

when love found me, 

wrapped around your lonely heart.
