what is love

what is love?
it's frustrating that you can't be with this person?
that... that there's something keeping you apart ,something about this person you connect with?
and whenever you're near this person, you don't konw what to say, and you say everything, that's in you mind,and in your heart.
and you konw that if you could just be together, and this person will hlep you become the best possible version of yourself.
you know that feeling in you heart, when your heart is just pounding, and like it's actually outside your ribs.
exposed ,vulnerable,wonderful and awful. and heartsick and alive ,all at the same time.
what do you call that?
uh, love.
