we always say we will not fall in love

the Stigma that love is for children, it does not live in any of us.

falling in and out of love, a relationship could never sustain between us.

but i cannot deny these emotions inside of me,

foreign to my mind and body, but my heart knows otherwise.

we can stay children, Young Forever.

if love is over, why do these things like a Butterfly invade my stomach whenever i catch your gleaming eyes?

if love is over, why do i feel the need to transform into your ideal just to be accepted into your arms that i yearn for Just One Day?

if love is over, why would i-- “afraid to be loved for who i am”-- put myself in such a vulnerable position all For You?

as fragile as a House Of Cards, i would still continue to sacrifice my life in place of yours.

so Hold Me Tight and Save Me from this lonely misery.

do not deny that the laws of love do exist

for Love Is Not Over.

i exchange my stares between you and the Autumn Leaves,

and i realize the grandeur of life’s beauty.

you hold the grace of a feather, falling from the highest tree

the allure of a sunset, pinks, oranges, purples fading into the sky

the Serendipity of the rain, lightly tapping on my window in the early morning

the appeal of city lights from a soaring plane above.

“Just the fact that you are in it makes all the difference.

even if this were a dream, this is where I choose to be.”
