An Ode to the Soul

6

I hope that you know that I've fallen for you.
Not in the way you'd expect me to fall. Because falling is for the broken and for the damned.
But I've fallen for your words and the way that you say them.

I've fallen for your brain and the way that it moves and it twists.

I've fallen for your company and the way it makes my soul feel at peace.

I've fallen for the way you make me be true.

And I've fallen for the comfort you bring and the crutch you've become.

I've fallen for the way you've brought some light to my darkness, pretending it's okay.

I've fallen for your arms and the way they hold me reassuringly.

I've fallen for the way you've taught me to be okay when my world screams it isn't.

Because of this I've fallen for you but not in the way that you think.
For falling is for the weak-willed and faint of heart and I am neither.
