Have You Ever Been In Love?

Have You Ever Been In Love?

Have you ever been in love
I have
It's a wonderful
amazing, delightful experience
I boarded train
rode bumpy aeroplane
stood in baking sun
walked, ran, skipped to her house.

I missed breakfast often
lunch, supper, forgotten
Survived
on butterflies
living in my tummy
How strange and funny
Yet, I'd do it again
and again without regret

I stood in pouring rain
Waited by telephone in vain
Acted foolishly
for a satisfying kiss
Wrote words like these
Got down on both knees
and asked the question
Will you?
