falling head first into love

a little piece

i know it’s inevitable. i feel it in the air all around us: what i could feel for you, what i do feel for you! luck would have it that we have landed in the same space finally. that we are here and together and that i can hear your laughter like a sympathy awakening me. see, the sun breaks into night. the moon hangs higher than ever, and you look so beautiful in this light, in every light. i tell God so much beneath this sky that the clouds almost swallow me. i confess: how often i think of us as an eternal thing. how often i have started thinking of tan lines on my ring finger. of your hair always in my sink. of the mole on the top of your nose. i confess so much: that i am turning to the foolish sixteen year old girl i once was, yet i am not angry being this naive. i am not angry for knowing you, even less for wanting to love you, even less for letting myself fall. see, i am falling! somewhere between here and the fear, i see you as the light at the end of the tunnel, and i will go through every shadowed corner to reach it. i will love you to every corner, every end, every hidden crevice of this world. i will love you- i know that now.
