i know how to feel joy when you feel blessed
to love you from this side of my LA fence
i knew how to fall in love with you
to over-use my grin with you
i don't know how to be in love with you
2.**
i know that falling in love means you like it when they call
and then you're all
c u h
a g t u p....
i know that falling in love means specialized tic tac valentines
customized tactical be mine's
and then you're not
~so tough~

i know that love is breakfast in bed, and coaxing
the bad thoughts out of your head....
sending them somewhere else instead
i know that love is laying yourself down
finding rest
....not treating everything like a test
4.
and i know that the fact that i keep tripping over and into your shadow
& re-attaching it to your feet so
you don't feel so alone,
has left me in the dark
falling in love was easy
because it's exactly that
falling in the name of "us"
flailing in the name of........whatever gets you off
(losing your balance is easy when you forget to hold yourself)

i am guilty of being especially curious
so i hopped on over to your side of the fence,
and i didn't feel "that togetherness"
......isn't that part supposed to be the best?

so, i just don't know how to be in love with you
losing your balance is easy when you forget to hold yourself
