Love Equation (Poem)

I do not know the proper equation of love.

But I do know how it feels,
To wait by the phone every single day,
For a call that may or may not come.

To have my heart leap in anticipation,
Each time the phone rings.
To have it crumble in disappointment,
When I answer it and the person is not you.

To cry myself to sleep on nights,
When missing you hurts,
And I wish that you were here by my side,
To wipe away the tears.

I know how it feels,
To grin like a fool for no reason,
When you're around
Or when I'm about to see you.

To hug you and experience the tingles
Travelling in tiny, electric patters
Across my skin.
And I'll close my eyes,
Hoping that we won't ever break apart.

I do not know the proper equation of love.

But when I see you,
I think I just might be able to guess
What it is all about.
