The unspoken words of a lost soul (part 5: his love)

Love is a spark of light,
a dazzling blaze of flame…
like accidents which happen
in the untempered heat we feel.
Not only did he love her,
but he could tell that
the universe loved her, too.
She was different.
And his heart sank deep
within his soul as he realized at
last how much he wanted her.
No matter what her past was,
no matter what she had done….
Which was not to say he
would ever let her know,
but only that she moved him chemically
more than anyone he had ever met—
that all other women seemed pale beside her.
And somewhere resonating beneath
his own consciousness,
he knew that because of her….
he would never be the same.
