J.L.

Something happened
Inside my heart, my soul, tonight
You said something sweet again
I expressed my happiness in your action
And you resolved to continue
Until it was no longer possible.

I have never felt the intensity
Of pure, unadulterated joy before
The balloon welled up inside my chest
Until I had to laugh out loud
To release the pressure.
I felt tears in my eyes:
An over-abundance of emotion
Going unchecked.

You set my soul on fire.
