This thing called Love,
Oh how I long to feel it
To someday lose myself in another
Without fear of being shattered
To breathe the air they breathe
All hearts and Flowers
That feeling of euphoria
This thing called Love
Oh how scary it looks
Emotions running deep
I just can’t handle it
I’ll rather not handle it
Afraid to let go, afraid to lose myself
The very thing I also want
Ball of conflicting voices
Though It may seem that I’m better off alone
And I act like I’m as tough as can be
When the sun goes down and the moon comes up
the voices in my head come alive
And sometimes the tears pour down
I long to feel
To have another hold me, Shield me. Keep me safe and whole
To love and be loved
Oh this thing called Love
This crazy thing called Love.
—Cassandra Ikegbune
Awww, this is beautiful. It's definitely nothing to be afraid of, but it can be very scary. I say just let go. I've recently learned that. The mind is the thing that tries to stop you from feeling your birthright, and that's love. Just be. It'll find you. It's finding me 🙂
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you too, for taking time to read this and leave me something to think about. Thank you!
You're a really skilled writer. This is absolutely gorgeous. You'll find this one day, and it will be beautiful!
Thank you! Yess!!
It's okay to yearn for love, but just remind yourself that, love will come when it's (you) ready. When the time is right. You might even feel as though you're ready now, but are you really?
Love encompasses a lot of things. I'll just advice you to enjoy this time of singleness as best as you can. Ask God to help you with that. And, I'm sure that God-made man for you is out there, and He'll come…surely! 🙂
Much love xx
Oh Yess! The plans "He" has for me are plans for good, to give me a future and hope :D!

I'm married since 1 year now and I can tell you how great it feels to be loved! I came from a very difficult time before and I always believed I never found real and true love again! But I was wrong! Always believe in your dreams sweety! That's what makes us strong today! I believe in you, in your talent and I see a beautiful girl! You can only be loved! Trust me <3

Wow, you are very talented..This is very well written, great job!
Thank you!!
Love is such a beautiful thing yet very scary.But once you love and you get same or even more in return then you'll know its a beautiful thing.Relax and let fate take the lead.

The fact you are able to self-reflect and identify this in yourself will make your love, when it comes to you, that much stronger. Thank you for not being scared to be vulnerable and write about how you really want love. Lately I've been getting the vibe from people that it's 'weak' to say you want a relationship or you want someone in your life. (Which annoys me to no end). Everyone needs love, & I for one think there's a certain strength in being able to admit to the desire for love but to uncertainty of how to handle it.
Really great post (:

I know right!! I was so scared at first to put this up, i kept on asking myself what will people think of me and stuff. but i finally just had to reassure myself that its not really about what anyone thinks.
Thank you! and yes i totally agree with you on the self reflection thing.
Great poem! I can imagine this as a song
