And we take a breath, together

They call it falling in love for a reason

The risk

The uncertainty

The fear

 

Falling in love makes you lose control

So dependent on someone else

That you forget how to breathe

When they’re not around

 

Love makes you vulnerable

As you hand your heart to another

Praying that they don’t drop it

Yet it never comes back whole

 

We try to regain control

To build a parachute

Keep our hearts guarded till we’re sure

But that’s not how it works

 

I let go of everything

Accepting the cool hit of the pavement

When you catch me in your arms

 

Yet it isnt

Impossible

How in love with you I am

Impossible  

How much I miss your touch

Impossible  

How a simple hello can change my day

Impossible  

How much it hurts to be apart

Impossible  

How my walls crumble in your presence

Impossible  

That I fall for you more each day

Impossible  

That you haven’t ran, abandoning me

Impossible  

That I could even cross your mind

Impossible  

That you might be mine forever

My Secret

I’m not sure how to say this

It terrifies me to my core

To be so vulnerable to someone else

Yet I’ve found myself opening to you

 

Let me not stumble over my words

Which cannot express how I feel

The chaos rages within

Yet this remains constant

 

Over our six years

This fact has come to light

A simple truth

Finally coming to light

 

Very soon our time might end

Without this being said

I’m holding back due to things unresolved

I wish to drop this weight

 

Even though I am unashamed of how I feel

And I’m almost positive that its reciprocated

I can’t tell you this

Not yet anyways

 

You must be aware of how I feel

My actions surely tell my secret

Couldn’t you make the first move

Take the jump instead

 

O how I crave to tip the scale

To finally admit to you

Accept whatever change comes my way

I pray you agree

 

Unless one of us speaks up

This will never come to be

And we will be soon to fade

Just that you let me in

Hi

That stupid smile flashes across my face

Your head is in the clouds

While I’m here on the ground

 

I know I catch your eye down here

Like a beacon in a storm

O how I wish to hold your hand

And help you weather through

 

My heart aces for what pains yours

I hunger for your words

Yet I must step back

And let you fight your battle

 

I haven’t told you yet

Although perhaps you know

I'm head over heels for you

I see forever and it terrifies me

 

I adore you

There is trust and respect

Something there that feels like love

But it’s obscured by fog

 

You cling to toxins past

Look to others for your own opinion

Eyes batted with other girls

These hurtles stand in our way

 

I can accept that you value your friends

The relationship you share with them

Of course I’d never ask for it to end

Just that you included me

 

As for the other girls

I get it you’re a romantic and care too much

Kind, respectful, funny

You’re every girls dream

 

The ex’s break my heart

Don’t get me wrong I trust you

I trust you

But it breaks my heart

 

We’re avoiding this conversation

Between just as friends

And something more

What stands in the bridge

 

I love you

I love you

And I want to be there for you

The Closer We Get

I’m scared

About how quickly I’m falling

In love

With you

 

You’ve seen my heart

And called it beautiful

Yet we’re holding back

And I’ve lost control

 

A smile dances on my lips

As you flit through my thoughts

You’re just a breath away

Although it feels like a mile

 

I hunger for forever

But am dying of starvation

Do you know I’m suffering?
