Jade

There was not a question in his mind
The day he met the girl named Jade.
He knew she'd be the one to change the world around him.
But he couldn't utter a word.
His tongue was tied; his eyes were glued.
To every eyelash, to every auburn curl.
His heart beat so fast it slowed the rest of him down.
And his body stood cemented to the grass.
With each syllable she sang
And the closer she came to him
The farther he sank into a hole.
A hole filled with lights and hues he had never seen. Light more bright and distant than the sun's.
Shades of emerald and other vibrant greens. Unexplainable glory he never knew existed.
What he was missing all along but never knew he missed it.
Was it love or was it euphoria?
Which one is better?
Or are they the same? 
He couldn't tell the two apart
Or come up with a descriptive name.
He eventually came to call this feeling his unnamed pleasure.
He hoped for it to last forever.
And ever.
