Connection

Invisible undercurrents,
Almost like bolts of lightning,
Yet far more impactful,
Bursts of emotions and sensations,
All caught in my chest and by surprise,
Worried if I put life to it all,
I will breathe it into reality,
Because I have always avoided these feelings,
Smiling to myself,
Attempting to hide a blush,
But failing to hide the flush,
Yet reaching to make the connection,
What do I have to do to bottle this feeling?
Because I’m not sure I want to come up for air,
Willing to breathe in and dive deep,
Wave on wave of emotions, but none of them
The desire to run, my usual tact
Safety and with an assured knowledge that with you here,
I am more than safe,
