My mind reels.

I strive towards you but I'm set back on my heels as I
          
           Stumble.

I made a mistake.
                            Not intentional no, never intentional, but it feels right and so

                                        I do it.

            I made a mistake.
                                        But I watch in horror as my mind kneels to depression.

But one can't yield to depression so I pick my mind up and see my mask fall as it peels off leaving me

               Naked.

My mind reels.

I sit here thinking of you because there's
                  nothing else I can do.

I try to write a poem that's specifically, uniquely for you but
          
                 I can't.

Not because I'm lacking but because
          
                  words
                            fail
                                 me.

Well, this is a first.
             And I feel like I'm cursed to cling to it so
                                                                            desperately,
                  
                            and I don't want that.

Cause as a little boy my Mom told me a tale, it was the worst, about a kid who hugs his dog so tight
  
                                           he crushes it.

But love is about setting things free and so letting them grow.

Why do I fall for every girl who shows the smallest kindness to me? For that smallest moment when our eyes meet the force of heaven hits me in the heart and
                    
                                                  my mind reels.
