Yearning or Learning?

I yearn for a love, a love deep.

A love that drives me insane, makes me weak,

A love that sweeps me clean off my feet.

Makes me soft, makes me gentle.

Makes the demons settle inside my temple.

An escape, a slice of heaven,

Somewhere to rest, a sanctuary, a haven.

I crave the longing looks, something to settle my storm.

I know I shouldn’t want it, it's unrealistic, I bet,

And god, I'm yearning for someone I've never even met.

But that doesn't make it easier, being inside my head.

It’ll always be me, a hopeless romantic,

Diving into your eyes, Atlantic,

I want to drown, drown like the Titanic. 

A love like the movies, something irrevocable.

Something that consumes me whole,

I just want to be lovable.

My love, my happy place,

Someone to spoil, a solace.
