the good side of love

this strange and foreign thing,
this incomprehensible idea,
this bipolar feeling,
L-O-V-E

its amazing what love can do.

you suddenly take notice in what you wear,
how you walk, talk, act,
you find yourself changing,
changing into someone you never knew you could be.

makes everything so enjoyable,
the world seems like a better place,
everything seems to be so vibrant, bright and full of life,
you would think you’re imagining things
cause sounds seem so much more melodious
your taste buds are tantalized more than usual
you skin heightened to every sensation
the world around you seems to be bursting with colors

love becomes philosophical
confirming the theory of existentialists
gives a sense of purpose in life,
gives a sense of belonging
makes you want to excel in things
to be the best
to impress the person

you suddenly discover the mirror.
same preference for food, music, interests,
synced communication styles,
the finishing off of each other's sentences.
the gravitational force towards each other.

so who are you exactly now?
did love change you into someone different?
…or did love bring out the best in you?

if only you knew
how you’ve changed me
for so much better
