Are you a lover?

Do you throw yourself in,

Free falling into a field of flowers under the soft summer sun set?

Flying with no wings just trying to stay up?

Do you fall like Christmas snow, a blanket of fresh and love and care?

Do you fall like me, fast and head first, tumbling over words, stumbling over a touch.

Do you love with every bone in your body?

Does his laugh tickle your stomach and the risk of it all cause your brain to scramble like Sunday morning eggs?

With every smile and every laugh, does your heart flutter a bit more?

Do you tie a string around your finger just so you remember every little thing he tells you?

Just so one day when he asks what you want to eat, you can say a bowl, but hold the beans

And he’ll know you care.

Do you feel everything with intensity?

So when he grins at you the room brightens up and everyone fades like fogg against an empty highway.

A five minute conversation feels like a three hour long drive across the deserted road,

Everything happens in slow motion as you treasure every second you have with this boy,

Every second before it all turns to black.

Did you used to be afraid, Like me?

Afraid to fall in love, because everything that falls gets broken.

But I still threw myself off that cliff although I knew our love would shatter me.

Because loving him was the most exquisite form of self destruction.
