Love Note: After All

When you are near me I lose my mind I forget my own name As though I am waking from a deep sleep It sounds lame After all you drive me insane A secret buried deep within the crevices Of my heart, you are that spectrum That burning flame The thrill that I found to press my cheek to. When you are near me it is as if You slow time I don't mean to play this same song But we both have our own worries After all who is going to love me? Have you fallen for me? I have fallen for you. Feels like fifty feet down But how did we happen? Are we not ordinary people? This life feels extraordinarily fictitious After all it's been eons since we have Communicated, exaggerated, facilitated A thought of a whisper We are both simmering in our own misery Are we not?

Thanks Ann. I feel better about this piece now. After all love is just an after thought. Right?
