Falling
The truth of the matter is that the situation is not ideal and the timing is way off, but never the less I am trying to pick myself up from the fall I have taken for you. Like tumbling down a flight of stairs or like losing footing on a cliff, my heart races and my body trembled at the sight of your smile and the shine in your eyes as you look completely through me, like I am a imaginary figment of my own imagination. And you see right through me like air. But your every word and the sound if your voice I cling to like life support as my breathe is drawn short and my body trembled as you are close. My thoughts are of us and of you but silence is all I can muster. For you are taken by another. And I am no longer that guy who just takes what he wants even though I despertly crave your embrace and know the wild craziness that would ignite from such an act of pure raw passion would create a moment in time that would rival any other in the history of man. Yet in the time I have crafted something witty and clever to create an opportunity to speak to your soul the way yours calls to mine. You have passed by and my chance of a serious encounter with my future has passed. Wounded by the fact you are taken by someone that does not cherish and appreciate the true value your heart and soul have to offer breaks me. And I am left wishing for just a chance or perhaps a reason to brush by you and feel the electricity between us recharge my outlook on the sad darkness I was in until my eyes were brightened by you light. How can I feel so lost and so confused yet so certain all at the same time. This unspoken truth that is rolling around inside of me please tell me you feel it as well?
