You’re in love. Deep love. A love that you never thought you would find before. That love that makes you feel so pure and whole. You admire this person. Who they were, who they are, and who they are going to be… and you love them with every fiber of your being. You want to be there for them. Taking care of them. Even the idea of growing old together, bringing them a hot bowl of homemade soup as they get cozy under their warm blanket. Sharing a night of laughter coupled with cuddles and love. The sweetest feeling of their warmth embracing you, like the taste of honey on a summer day. So deep and rich like a passionate kiss. Yet ever so fading like dewy grass under the fiery sun. So faded… because you can’t tell them. Life has its ways to tell you that it may not work out as you think. You’ve loved this person for what maybe feels like a lifetime. And you know you can’t cross boundaries because they are a family friend, and any feelings felt are to be kept secret. A harsh reality, but you know you want to cross that boundary so bad. To be with the person you want to be with. You long for those moments of being with them. But in the end, you only end up lovesick… because you can’t be with them. Now you can lay around and numb yourself to the emotions that you truly want to feel, or you can receive this art piece and know that even though you are in this moment of love sickness… This space and time that feels like forever… To know that this painting will bring you joy and happiness and that it’s okay to be in love, it’s okay to feel this way, that being lovesick isn’t the problem, not telling them the truth is.
