Could this be Love?

How could this be love
if my head fogs up a brew?
How could this be love
if my heart aches every time I see you?

I tear up when your eyes won't meet mines
and when they do, I break down completely.
Ever so easily do you steal my breath away
with the simple actions you'd make sweetly.

A zoo bursts in my stomach when you laugh,
and I can never seem to calm my breathing.
Your glorious eyes inspire my sketches,
for they play with my heart, heart-stringing.

Your existence is all that consumes my mind,
for I can't stop the music my thoughts are dancing to.
I love the things about you that no one would usually love,
because your imperfections bring me back to life anew.

But how could this be love,
if I can't function the same?
But how could this be love,
if it's my heart that I can't maintain?

Could this really be love
if I feel like dying and living?
Could this truly be love
if I'm losing but winning?

"It's the way your eyes shine and wander into the distance,
an unexplainable emotion crosses your face.
It's something that confuses your brain
but, for all the right reasons, gives you a heartache."
