Life Through the Eyes of Love

I never knew that I
might feel this way

The way a mother or father
might feel
when their child does not return home
late one afternoon from a friends house.

The way a husband or wife
might feel
when they are told that their life partner is gone
forever, never to return.

To be worried sick to the point of nausea
Looking out the window every three minutes
Wishing that her phone wasn't dead and lying next to me.

I have never been in love like this before.
I have never cared so much.
I have never been worried sick.
