WHEN LOVE MATERIALIZES

There is a strange feeling when love materializes
That warm sensation of being protected
That desperate state of openness and vulnerability
That controversy of thinking the “what if’s”, the “how come”, the “why me”
There is a strange feeling when love materializes
That untouchable sensation of being in ecstasy
That uncontrollable state of mind with palpitations
That incomprehensible happiness and desire of being there, together, forever
That’s how I feel around you,
Even in those days when storms seem to want to stay
Even when you look down and walk away
Love materializes
Because hidden under my iron armor
Protected by a lion’s roar
Love is still there, installed to stay eternally
An eternity that seems unthinkable without you
Love materializes
When you look back at me
When you forgive me for my missteps
When you hold my hand to walk together
When you kiss me by surprise
And completely out of the blue
You say one more time:
I love you.
