My Lightning There are two kinds of love The first.. felt like the road towards home. Long and winding, and yet Comfortable. This is the love I have with him. Familiar.. Safe. I know every curve, The feel of his arms is sure. I've memorized every trace of his lips.. His words are known, And my heart knows no surprise. For with him, I am home. But you are my lightning. The storm approaches, a distant thunder warns me. Yet you still struck me amidst the calm. You swept me off my feet My knees weaken. You wooed me with your words and enveloped me in brilliant light. You set my heart aflame. Again and again you came, catching me unaware. You are the second kind of love my heart sought, That it yearns. You leave me torn, and yet complete.. and I search for more. Your love has left me in chaos Yet it is you who is my reprieve. Is it so wrong to seek you? Your warmth in this cold, hard rain? Hold me then and be my refuge Keep me stranded for a while longer.
