such common experiences to us all
whenever I’m with You, the world seems so much brighter
my heart feels so much lighter
my body, invigorated with passion
but then, you realize,
that there’s still a life to live
there’s still a door to open, a world to face
it’s when your heart is most full of hope
that it’s the most fragile
the most sensitive to setback
so quickly it descends back into despair
it’s when your heart is most willing to love
that it finds itself shut up, alone
whether by choice, or circumstance
and love kept captive in one’s heart
festers, decays into despair
quickly, the new-found passion subsides
the newly discovered joy disappears
you wonder to yourself, if they were authentic
or just a trick of your mind
or just proof again, of your not seeking enough
of your not trusting enough
but they had felt so real
they felt like they had been built on truth
based on the right foundations
and yet, this testing can only mean…
…maybe they were counterfeit after all.

but
Your word is true
no matter how we think or feel
