When I am in love
I love deeply
I'm heavy
I fall fast
I set off running the second the tide hits my feet
My first step eagerly launches into a foreign ocean and my last...
My last is followed by the panic of not touching sand
The tide grows heavy and strong and pulls me in all directions like a black hole
I well with emotions as the swell rips my hands away
And straight into yours.
My hand hot, your hand cold
A thermodynamic equilibrium
I think to myself, "sold!"
My heart and soul are yours
At the low low price of a kiss
A touch
A breath
A breath taken away
So when I'm with you I'm on vacation
Surrounded by beauty and adventure
But, oxygen-deprived, I cant stay awake
I hold my breath because yours belongs to another
I cant be.
So for you to be happy you must be free
To be with another
I cant be her
I'm he
And my he isnt a she
And even if my he was a she it wouldnt be her
Not for you at least
I think
Wow it's late
I think
I need to sleep.
