Falling is terrifying.
I know that.
I've been there,
So many times.
Or at least,
I thought I had.

Turns out I was close,
But still wrong.
This time though,
Something's different.
The feeling's real.
I can feel my heart and my mind,
Attacking each other.
Battling it out.
And somewhere in between,
They've lost the balance.

I've fallen head over heels for you.
And I know it's not right in my heart,
Or my mind.
But it is what it is.
And suddenly,
I'm not too terrified anymore.
Because I know that no matter what I do,
I cannot stop myself.
From falling.
Head over heels.
In love.
With you.
If when we die we go to heaven
what would this paradise look like
blue skies
fields of green
clear rivers
happy faces
tables of food
lakes of our favorite drinks
a big guy in a golden chair

If when we die we meet God
staring into his eyes what would you see
the big bang
evolution

everything

If when we die we go to Heaven
if when we die we meet God
what will we see
what will he think
how will we feel
If when we die

I cannot put into words
how beautiful your eyes are.
I don't even think
a photograph can capture
its depth.
When the morning light
hits it,
it becomes this
translucent brown
that will hypnotize you
into thinking
it's a portal to another world.

When you kiss me hurriedly,
without anticipation,
out of the blue,
and just the right kind of hard.
It makes me dizzy, and makes me
want you more.
And makes it hard to believe
I have you in my life.

We have all the right reasons to break up
but we never did.
We sacrificed a lot for each other.
And it always got me asking
if it will be worth it.
But god I can't imagine breathing another breath
the moment you let go of me.
My heart sinks everytime
I imagine myself
without you.
My heart shatters,
my heart collapses
and runs out of blood to pump.

We argue a lot
because of our differences.
The strength we have for us
may not be understood by everyone.
We get a lot of **** by
trying to be together.
And I thank you for
being my rock
when I get weak.
All we have is us.
I often think about you and some words to say
I pick a few out almost everyday
Like "hey, how are you?" or "how was your day?"
I wish I could just hold it back and stay away,
Cause it's not like these words will ever sway

I open my mouth and stutter to you,
It's like my tongue is stuck to the roof with super glue
I won't let me speak, I want to let it go
I want the peace of mind like I used to know
So I lie up in bed with every intention to sleep.
My mind just wonders on and let's the thoughts seep

But maybe things are not that meant to be,
Maybe this is what we have to do to set thee free
We fly through life with flashes of special people,
The one we think will stay we always meet at the steeple
The happiness ensues, did I just imagine all this?
Whatever happened to these thoughts that brought perpetual bliss?

Maybe it's the mind, the thoughts that seep through,
The words that cause my tongue to stick like glue
I'm not really sure my eyes are even open anymore,
Maybe they have shut and I have stepped through the door
Am I in the land of sleep?
Did my mind let go and finally let me count sheep?
Where am I, hello? Can anybody hear me?
Please wake me up so I can see things clearly

Then I woke up like all the times dripping wet,
Do I always have to wake up in this cold sweat,
Not knowing if it's the right time to come home yet
The dreams are what **** me most,
I reach out to save you and you just turn to a ghost
I never thought that it would be this way,
So these are just some words that I want to say,
Hey, how are you?
How was your day?
I wrote this while just laying down to go to sleep one night.  I was reflecting on several things and just wrote what it all was down.

Damsels

I am a damsel;
I need not a prince.
I need not a knight.
I'm a modern damsel with a need for life.

I am a damsel;
Distress is always there.
Challenges are everywhere.
I'm a modern damsel who takes down mountains.

I am a damsel;
I feel fear, and maybe that's a good thing.
I feel uncertain, and maybe that's not a bad thing.
I am a modern damsel who gets to feel everything...

Because that's what damsels in my generation can do.
Today will bring about itself
leaving heartbreak behind
Today will be nothing else
if nothing else besides

Today will think about yesterday
as it contemplates on tomorrow
Today will give itself away
rather than beg, steal, or borrow

Today will stand alone
in the shadow of the week
Today will spend time on its own
before it takes its leave

Today will speak softly its feelings
which leaves some wondering why
Today will question its dealings
while acting all quiet and shy

Today is a reflection of itself
slowly showing the world what it is
Today is a day like nothing else
with another chance to live

how foolish of me
to think I was
the only flower you
watered in your garden
