Epiphany

babe
you really blew it.
You stole my heart abruptly.
I wish it didn't happen-
normally I'm not the fool 
I run away subtly

but as you ran away-
heart in hand-
I followed you to the castle
and there, once dark, lit up bright
you swept me off my feet with your lasso

and there's nothing else I'd do
nothing I'd ever change
cause it's always you,
every time,

the one who makes me smile
