falling in love

I grew up with the sentiment that "butterflies fluttering in your stomach" was a sign of falling in love.
In those first moments, it was just a spark,
A tiny flame that flickered in the dark,
But soon it grew, and oh! How it glowed,
Until it filled my heart and overflowed.
i hope you find someone
you are content to just be with
where not a word passes between you
but you have never felt more heard
it took him by surprise
loving her was unlike any hollyood film or book he had read
there was no fire in his belly when he saw her across the bar
he didn't feel the urge to take her home and rip off her sweater
I blame the stars
For the first kiss you stole form me
When your lip brushed against mine
The birds were singing all night
Every moment with you fells like I'm living in a movie
yesterday i fell in love
fell in love the day before too
and the day before that
and on and on and on
stretching back to when i first met you two
Within our lives
We fall
In and out
Of Love
Over and over
Again and again
Yet most of us
We don't realize
i have watched my best friend fall in love 3 times
the first time
as she talked about him
i saw her eyes crinkle up at the the corners
like the sleeves of her favourite sweater
around her wrists
You can make me laugh, always
You can make my heart ache, longing for you to be with me this very second
I can long for your breath against mine
I can long for your lips against mine
I have done everything in my power to become detached from the world.
Reassuring my decision every time I stare into your eyes.
My means of survival solely in the revival of your lips.
I boarded her heart.
Careful to follow the politics of comfort.
Too much weight on either side & We'll surely panic.
Tumbling down.
Spiraling out of control.
I packed light.
I dwelt in thought.
Reminiscing on the way that she made me feel.
Gradually I moved into her.
Packing light, reassuring that I'd bring the biggest piece of me.
Calloused hands
Strings of Gold
In three bands
(or so I’m told)
Jet Black Studs
Turquoise Hair
Stop this heart from beating
Stop the blood from bleeding
Stop my thoughts racing
Stop my soul from aching
These dumb mistakes I'm making
Are they risks worth taking?
I crave you.
In the most simplest and most complex forms.
I need you.
My sunshine and my thunderstorm.
I hear you.
Laughter and heartbeats.
I see you.
Beautiful mind and kind eyes.
I am slowly stepping instead of falling for her.
I never learned how to love so instantly.
This feeling is far from what I prefer.
She is like the seasons of winter and summer,
You make it easy to fall,
In love that is.
Not really my style,
To fall that is.
I like to drift,
And wade through my happiness,
And sing light songs of those happy days,
Yesterday was once a dream,
A memory of you, just foreign gleam.
When looking into your eyes after all this time,
Like nothing has passed us by.
Here we are.
It is you and me
and I want it to be that way forever.
Us
staring at the night sky
in a city neither of us have ever been to.
Tonight,
Able to breath
Once again
Like calluses
gone soft
Roses in bloom
Stars shining
With a Fresh breeze
Baby's laughing
Cheerful smiles
Painful Laughter
Hair that flows
Your blue eyes put me in a trance.
Baby. Baby. Baby.
I love you.
I wish the best for us. To be together forever.
I will fall for you every time.
That smile…so addictive.
That touch…unexplainable.
Is it possible
To fall in love
At first sight?
To see someone and automatically feel
A deep sensation
A trembling infatuation?
To disregard
The viable pessimism
Can a connection
As the words fall from your lips,
As you crave another kiss,
Who are you lying to?
Because I know what you are saying can't be true.
It takes more than a few days for love to grow past the kindling stage.
She sees her. A woman. Her.
Not just "her",
but HER.
She who can be seen in the future:
signing a morgage and hopefully raising a kid or two.
Her brown reflect an inner purity like no other.
A heaving chest,
Quick breaths,
You stole the very air from my lungs.
A watchful eye,
Beautiful surprise,
You took my focus for yourself.
A thumping heart,
Set apart,
The first time I realized I loved you
You were sitting in front of the TV,
It was glowing around you like you were
Something holy
I fall in love with the way people live
The way people are
Their eyes and how they crinkle when they laugh
The way their hair falls in just the right place
The feeling of their arms around you
and so I fell in love with the way he fell asleep at night
the way he breathed unevenly
the annoying way he held me captive -
during every phone call
the way he made me late to meetings
the way he laughed
(Switches perspective between two people in each indented section.) I didn't lose my mind, I threw it away.I really won't be needing it anyway. You intrusively gaze into my eyesAnd I tell you everything's fine.I thought you'd doubt me, thinking it
It's hard not to fall in love
with someone
when you spend so much time with them
and see them for who they really are,
especially when they think you are not watching their every move.
(Cinder)ella had pleaded
A wish she had needed
The young fairy was happy to provide
Ella desired a prince
Who would love her since
Don't let me fall, I'm already on the edgetrying to lean backwards,but the wind blew and blewI don't want to tumbleI don't want to loseBut I just can't help it,the wind is blowing me to you
I can still feel the heat of the sun on my skin
Still feel the memory of where it had been
As we both fell asleep
We both fell so fast
I looked up at you
And I prayed it would last
Bright light, lovely pale flesh,
reflecting blue as the moonlight catches movement,
as fingertips dance across flesh,
hot and humid breath catching at the back of your throat,
Hot kiss in the cold rain.A steady beat of a pulsing vein.The fearful calm of the never the same.The sweet aftertaste of your whispered name. Two extremes inside one heart.
There are moments in life.Then there are moments, in life.It's a gift to know exactly whenyou discovered what love really is. It was laying ear to ear with you,So quiet I can almost hear your thoughts.
Pieces of me
Are broken.
I've fallen so far,
So hard and so quickly.
Crumbled into thousands
Of pieces
Unknowing if the
Kings horsemen can put
Me back together
Again.
Okay, that's enough of that
I think that my mind has finally had enough
of you
I'm so very done with your shit
(Pardon my language)
In truth, I'm not even sure if It's your shit I'm done with
On my cheek he'll kissThat's something that I'll missHis fingers between mineAnd how he smelled of pineHis giggle lingers in my earHis voice is oh so dearI miss the grey of his eyes
Friends with benefits
What's the benefit
When I'm falling in love
And you're looking down from the cliff
It all started with a bet,
thats all it took
to make you fall in love with me.
We fell in love under
the sweet summer sun,
singing to the radio
in your fast black car.
Eruptions, explosions, stars dying emitting their luminous lights that exasperate us.
Oh, falling’s just a one-way flight,
My boarding pass: the smile you gave.
And you would try to catch me, right?
My feet hang from this windy height.
To fall in love, one must be brave.
At first sight
You scared me to death
At first sight
I froze, unsure of what's next
At first sight
I was so nervous
At first sight
I tripped, distracted by you
This thing of love,
of loving and being loved.
It consumes me in the gentlest of ways,
softly washing over me until I've been covered up;
a blissful drowning.
I've become willing to risk hitting a shelf
I feel the breeze as I'm falling
not the frightening wind
but a comforting cloud
assisting my descend
Through a mountain range
hills and valleys
peaks and falls
I want you to grab me in your hands and say
I’m enchanting.
That i whisper sweet notes into you souls heart.
That I grab your mind in complicated twists of fantasy.
When I look at you, I imagine everything good in this world.
You are the mixture of hot and cold.
I am, one or the other
You are the only one, who truly knows me,
I watch from afar,
And listen in silence.
The sound of your guitar,
It makes my heart melt.
But you’ll never fall.
Not for a girl like me.
There was nothing I could do.
Every cell in me has my cloned identity
swirling at its core;
Every cell in me froze-
Programmed the same to do so-
When my very essence had its epiphany.
It was a serendipity
I'm falling with no chance of escape.
This is what I've dreamed of my whole life.
This is my worst nightmare.
