I was pushed from a height
and I plummeted downward…
I shattered to pieces
yet I travelled onward,
And the night that I met you
was desperate and magic…
A ghost of myself;
my death had been tragic…
I walked through the cold;
could not have been bolder…
And one of my murderers
cried on my shoulder.
But you crossed my path
though we’d met before…
In a time I can’t fathom
or begin to explore…
For that October night
eclipsed all the others…
And you took me home
though we weren’t even lovers.
You sparked something there
that I could not perceive,
Igniting a flame
that I could not believe,
A fire that warmed
what had threatened to freeze me,
Desire that formed
over time as you freed me.
We were friends
with a sparkle
of laughter and lust…
We grew to be more
as we developed our trust…
And friends became lovers
and partners and family…
You’re in my blood;
in my breath;
you’re inside me.
You’re part of me now
and I don’t want to lose you…
I don’t want to doubt,
disrespect or abuse you…
I don’t want to hurt you
or take you for granted…
I’m conscious of this
and I need to be candid…
I’ve loved you for years now
and yet I’m still falling…
Still falling in love with
no signs of stalling…
Will we crash at the bottom
or land on our feet?
All I know is that
falling with you I’m complete.
