Never had that feeling

I’ve had sorrow sweep its way into my life
Forcing itself through the gaps of happiness
Like molten lava
Destroying everything in its path.

I’ve had tears wash down my face
Carrying mascara like a waterfall does rocks
Staining my face
Before dripping onto my open palms

I’ve had anger boil within me
Overflowing to the point of explosion
Causing more wrong
Than what I intended to be right

I’ve had fear rattle my every bone
Sending shivers crawling across my skin
Fearful vibrations echo visibly
Causing screams to emit from my open mouth

I’ve had hate possess my consciousness
Pure hatred to none other than myself
Despite how hard I attempt to try
To rid myself of hate is like one man moving a castle

I’ve also felt happiness somewhere along the way
A smile often creeping upon my face
Eliminating all the depressing thoughts
Replacing them with laughter and joy

I’ve felt love that seems to never fade
Endless talks, although silence is heard
Bonding closer with each passing sentence
Care glowing from devoted hearts

But I’ve never really experienced
That one little feeling
That changes your entire life
Opening the main door to the fast-approaching future

The feeling I speak is that of pure love
Where just one loving touch reveals the pathway
Showing the one you are destined to live your life with
All revealed with just one touch

I wonder what it feels like
This one small touch, from fingertips or lips
Fallen from the body of my soul-mate onto mine
Ready to live our lives together

I’ve never experienced more than the warmth of a thankful hug
But I am patient and I shall wait as long as it takes
For I believe that the thanks I received
Is the beginning of the life that is yet to unfold
