The Unbearable Weight of Falling in Love

I can’t sleep without you

Limbs tangled, making two bodies one

Stay close, so I can hear the beat of your wild heart

I am safe here

Taking a moment to gaze upon your face

Lost in the glimmering constellations of your eyes

I fall for you

Perpetually, deeper into love as if gravity never held us

Or as if the weight of holding you near wasn’t sometimes too heavy

I hate that part

Looking back at a stranger that bears your shadow

Dying to find the light sparkle in your wandering eyes

I am wide awake

Patiently waiting out the dark until day breaks

Just in case tomorrow, I might be worth remembering
