Euphoria
I have spent so much time dreaming of you,
expecting you to find someone else to marry and have kids with.
The dreams of you and me made me happy,
even while I had no faith in them ever coming true.
Now that I suddenly got you,
reality is like being high on the best drugs I’ve ever done.
I’m so terrified.
Not of the future I want with you,
but of my own ability to fuck shit up and lose you again.
My guess is that I’ve fallen so hard,
I’ve almost forgotten my commitment issues.

Felt! Same
the emotion is so tangible, and so complicated. nicely done.
Those last two lines–wow.
I love you my friend. Write or call me.
As for your poem it is simply put in its two propositions that hinge on “I’m so terrified” like butterfly wings.
Like a butterfly the voice in your poem has gone through changes, somewhat afraid of the old cocoon.
Your work is much I relate to in life. I value this poem.
The juxtaposition of a contrasting undercurrent of anxiety creates a powerful tension from the overwhelming happiness presented in the first stanza. Thanks for sharing!
such a wonderful roller coaster ride of emotions!
