I never believed in sappy love poems,
In the bleeding hearts and sleepless nights as they say.
Until I woke up at 3 am.
The blood dripping from my chest called out your name.
I never believed in love-at-first-sight,
In the I-never-know-what-to-say-because-I'm-shy.
Until I stood before you with trembling legs.
You squeezed the words from my throat with a smile.
I never believed in romantic walks in the park,
In getting caught in the rain, in a kiss under the moonlight.
Until I stood under your umbrella because I forgot mine,
My lips wetter than the soggy grass underfoot with your love.
I never believed in true love with you,
In a happily forever after, in growing old together.
Until I realized that life's a waste of time without you.
Our silhouette is branded in the moon forever.
