Falling into Nothing
I fell for someone's eyes to gaze into
Not for your eyes
I fell for a face to look at
Not for yours
I fell for the kind words
Not the mouth that made them
I fell for the perfume of the flowers
Not for your scent
I fell for the gifts and presents
Not the bringer of such things
I fell for the tender kisses
Not the lips that actioned them
I fell for the nights spent getting high
Not for the company I kept them with
I fell for the romantic dinners
Not the hands that prepared them
I fell for the midnight lust
Not the way you made love to me
I fell for 'I love you'
Not for the way you said it
I fell for the absence of 'someone'
I fell for a hand, lips and body of a guy
I fell for the missing link
But it was, and never will be.
I didn't fall for you
It wasn't you
I fell into nothing.
That nothing - was you.
