Fall | version: 20.10.2021 22:12

I have fallen for you
Even before you knew me
Still embraced by a landscape of dream
Swaddled in your woolen sweater
Stirring on the bed of tiny shells.

Later,
after vows were exchanged
during edible-musical feast
You fell hard
It was "off" and not "for" though
Still unruffled,
you springed back like a gymnast
keeping gracefully giving directions.

My heart leaped then, to you,
bursting open
only wanting to hold you forever

At that moment
I lost all my shame
Nothing mattered to me anymore

Only you

And I couldn't let go

I couldn't let you go

I just couldn't.


Unfortunately,

Being too busy with all the falling

I catastrophically fell ( pun intended)
To see

That you have never even felt
or cared to fall for me.
