Falling Light

Poem

I’ve been so alone, 
But you kinda threw me a bone.

Yes, it was only online, 
But I didn’t think you’d be so kind.

I wish I could explain
That I understand your pain. 

Maybe I really don’t.
Maybe I should just float. 
Float on to another world, 
One where I fall for another girl. 

I always get myself into a mess 
And can’t help but confess.
I hate to hide my love, 
But prefer to let it fly like the dove.

I realize that it makes no sense
And perhaps I’m just dense. 

Searching and hoping for something out there.
Someone who won’t tear 
My soul and heart to pieces.

I know it’s too much to ask from someone I just met, 
And I promise not to fret, 
But you’re one of a kind 
And I’d adore you even if I were blind. 

I saw you there in my dreams.
We were together under the beams 
Of light falling through the window.

My arm around your shoulder, 
Your legs crossed over in my lap.
And then SNAP, 
I was awake. 

My whole world is starting to shake
Because I know this feeling all too well. 
It too often ends in hell. 
But I’m willing to take the risk, 
Just for the chance at a kiss.

But even more than that kiss,
I wouldn’t want to miss 
A moment shared between two souls.
Who were always meant to meet 
And complete each other.
