| Falling forever |
[01 Jan 2008|10:07am] |
It was not so long ago at all
that my gut would flutter
at the sight of you.
Not so long ago that
a simple shared glance
(the times it was as if
a magnet had drawn our eyes
to lock onto one another’s)
sent an electrical shiver
straight to my loins.
How silly we were,
mutually longing
for each other
and neither willing to risk
the words.
No, not so long ago at all
where we would flirt
with snippets of small talk
while you feigned
reading your books.
Not so long ago and yet
the times like now
where we are whipped
to opposite ends
of the radius of our shared whirlwind
(the sudden force
that plucked us from our pining
and swirled us together into one)
make it seem like a lifetime.
But lover, as long as this life is mine
and blood still beats its way
through these veins,
there will never be a day
where the honest simplicity
of that mighty crush
will be far removed.
Not so long ago
is always and easily
now to me.
No matter how the trials
or triviality of life
attempt to intercede,
this heart will surge
for you
