To Be In Love

being in love with you
is like sticking your head out the window
as you're speeding down the highway
and you try to breathe but can't

being in love with you
is like the feeling in your stomach
when you're on the Drop Zone park-ride
and for a minute you're in free fall

being in love with you
is like that moment in the movie
when the good guy takes the flashlight
and walks down the creepy cellar stairs

being in love with you
is like a lucid dream where you can fly
you feel the tug of reality but you
push it aside for one last taste of freedom

being in love with you
is both the best and worst feeling possible
it is a stabbing pain that fills me up
with warmth and joy and tears and fire
