Unconditional, endless adoration.
I never wanted to give it
But you walked into my life
And shared your soul and sadness and smiles
And every shield I had dropped wide open
I've extended kindness before
Caring, empathy, a hug, a grin
But to love is something different,
To have a stranger-then-friend stir in me such deep pride and adoration
That is something more
Online I saw some text
"Did it hurt," it began, "when you fell-
But not from heaven no."
"Did it hurt when you fell for me."
I fell deeply, irrevocably, and irreversibly in love with you
And yes, it hurt, oh it hurt
I live everyday in agony
But it's an agony I'm not sure I'd give up, if I could, that is.
I die everyday but even as it kills me
Even as it burns me alive
It brings me back, rising from the ashes
I fell in love with you
And it hurt
And each day I get up, my friend
And fall for you all over again
--
(AN: Dedicated to all those I did fall for during my life so far. They encompass friends and crushes alike. I fell for all of you in different ways, and sometimes when I am alone and lonely, I wish I didn't love so that I didn't hurt. Then I see you again and I can't stop smiling, such is the joy of simply being in your presence and sharing your time.
Funny how that works out, isn't it?
Also yes, I've been absent for a while. I went on holiday for Christmas and then was busy for all of January. I just wasn't in a poetry mood. Nevertheless, my first poem of 2016. Enjoy!)
