A Feeling Worthwhile

No

It is not what they think it is
It is not a raging tsunami
Forcing its way over and through

It does not feel like they think it feels
It is not a devouring fire
Blazing and burning out a hollow husk

It does not sound like they think it sounds
It is not a standing ovation
Screaming and roaring and crushing noise

It does not taste like they think it tastes
It is not a freshly picked plum
Fed by the hand of a lover under a willow

No

It is what it is and nothing less than that
It is the truth you wanted to hear
Asked for and regretted for but now you know

It feels like what you were not expecting
It is the touch of sunlight on your hand
Lying still only to be caught in a sudden warm kiss

It sounds like what you did not know you wanted
It is the voice of someone you know
Saying hello and that they want to stay

It tastes like what you do not know yet
It is the first bite in your mouth
Now like it or not you will remember

Yes
