only time would tell us what we need to know
the feelings that build up inside of us
switching from option to option
as it works its way through us.

at first, it’s nothing
then it grows
becomes a monster of its own
something all-consuming in the end

some say that no one knows what it really is
this feeling that pulls you under
i say that you know it when you feel it
if only time will allow

love is the only thing that keeps you going
that consumes you to the core.
it’s stronger than anything you could ever feel
if you allow it to be your guide.

that lovely shade of red.
