We kissed as if we had borrowed time
As if one of us was leaving, dying.
As if the world was coming to an end
And we had to kiss before then.
As if time was no longer ours to share.
We kissed as if we didn’t have a forever
And that’s when I knew,
You were no longer mine

Sometimes we fall in love with things
How they entertain us
What they’re made of
The extent of their abilities
Sometimes we fall in love with stories
How they make us feel
What the characters endure
The words and the images they convey
Sometimes we fall in love with songs
How the artists puts feelings into music
What messages they’re trying to share with the world
The melodies
Sometimes we fall in love with animals
How they have no responsibility
What they’re capable of
The secrecy they’re silently sworn to
Sometimes we fall in love with places
How the earth could be so breathtaking
What the place holds and protects
The nature and quiet simplicity
Sometimes we fall in love with hobbies
How they create feelings of belonging within us
What they do to our schedules
The way they make us feel worthy
But I fell in love with you
How you spoke
What values you held dearly
The way you were so perfectly imperfect
Why you did the things you did
When you smiled and sang with no cares
Who you were with your friends
Where you loved and where I loved you…
Sometimes I fall in love with you
