I used to fall first, Fall harder, headfirst, No thoughts, pure want and thirst, To love and to be loved, To be there for my beloved, Now, I fall slower, The want becomes deeper and deeper, And the bumps, ever sharper, But I find it ever more profound, To finally find and be found, For when I fell first, There was nothing but hurt who bursts, But now I fall slowly, And I feel so completely, In every breath with her, A connection no one can sever.

I used to fall first
I remember the first day of primary As if it were yesterday But it’s only a memory Now I learn of Faraday I used to be afraid of the dark But now I can’t sleep without it The times I read about Noah’s ark Are long gone, now buried in work I sit. Where did the time go? Why do I mourn my child’s death? When I still feel his feelings, his presence? When did I grow up so fast?

When did I grow up so fast?
I always ask myself: -Why don’t I dream?? Or at least why don’t I remember, This vital part of creation, So cherished by others, Alleviating their troubles, Or even processing them, Is missing for me. I feel as if it was stolen from me, A vital piece of my mind, Ripped out so violently. It’s not as if it was never there, I can feel it missing, All I ask is why?

The Missing Piece
I rule a kingdom, Filled with houses, roads and taverns, A palace, stables and a garden, Empty chairs remain, Where none stay longer than a year, I only long for a sole citizen, But at the end of the day, ‘Tis I who push them away.

The empty chairs remain.
I miss her. I don’t know why. And I don’t think she misses me. But I miss her smile. I miss her cute nerves. I miss her beautiful starry eyes. I don’t remember her much. I always loved her intensity towards her passion. It’s always what pulled me. But I don’t think I’ll be more than a friend. I wish it could be more, just a bit more. I don’t think she misses me. It’s only been two weeks.

Two weeks later.
I look forward to the day I fail my final, Because it’ll mean I tried. I look forward to the day a girl rejects me, Because it’ll mean I had courage. I look forward to the day I’m arrested, Because it’ll mean I found a boundary. I look forward to the day I get lines on my forehead, Because it’ll mean I earn them. I look forward to the day I argue with my wife, Because it’ll mean I found my person. I look forward to the day my child is difficult, Because it’ll mean I see him grow, change. I look forward to the day I die of old age, Because it’ll mean I lived.

Because it'll mean.
