Love is the Best Torture

I knew form the first day I met you.
You would hurt me.
But I took that risk and fell so hard for you.
I watched everyday your bright crystal blue eyes glitter in sunlight.
Listened to your musical laughter.
Listened so hard to hear your heartbeat.
After you had run track everyday.
Get butterflies in my stomach seeing you.
Hearing your name.
I'd tremble smelling your beautiful scent.
I'd take every crushing blow of every new girlfriend.
For what?
The realization I'd made 3 years earlier.
For what?
For love.
Because love is the best kind of torture.
