A Four-Letter Word

Love,
Such a beautiful feeling
Butterflies in your stomach
Heart beating out of your chest.

The looks you steal at them
whenever they're nearby
Your breath catching in your throat
when you speak
Drowning in their beautiful eyes
whenever you maintain eye contact

Wondering, "do you like me too?"
Wondering, "should I approach you?"
Wondering, "will you ask me first?"

But then,
more often than not,

Your delicate heart shatters
into a million pieces
that take millennia to pick up

And once you recover,
your beautiful heart
is ready
to be
shattered
again.
