Is this Love?

Why do i feel this vague longing,
that tug in my heart,
when your face appears in my mind?

I am unable to stop
your smile that blossoms in my heart,
like the warm rays of an emerging rainbow.

It sends tingles into my soul,
that flutter in my breast
is both disconcerting and exhilarating.

It is both terror and laughter,
the joy of anticipation-
it is your presence that I long for, and yet dread.

How could I face rejection,
how could I face the shattering of
my perfect dream?

It is both need and denial-
I try to convince myself
that life can go on without you.

I hope that I am not wrong,
even as my heart still quickens at your smile-
I must yet, learn to live alone.
