Falling

Heart dashing, as fast as its strings can beat,

Desperate to catch up,

Breath catching,

Not realising you are on my tail,

Closer.

Cheeks flooding with crimson,

Aching all over from pain,

I don't want to win this race.

 

I'm caught, tackled, I begin fall to the ground.

I look up seeing you-

the surprise thunders through me,

the shock wave crashes over my body.

 

I'm falling,

falling with you,

within you,

You.

So beautiful.

I'm falling in love with you.

 

I smile to see where we landed, cushioned within the grass.

We landed across the finishing line together.
