Love has always frightened me,
I thought of it as painful and unnecessary
A weakness that I could not bring myself to endure.
But upon a fateful winter’s afternoon
In a quiet part of a somnolent town
Our eyes met and, in that moment,
I knew I was doomed.
Two hearts beating alone
But simultaneously joined.
Two hearts destined to be together
and harmoniously in sync with one another.
I know in this moment and in the here and now
I love you and I can’t seem to change those feelings
No matter how much I try.
When that sun goes down it is still you that I think of
It is you I wish I could be watching that sunset with.
Just us and the sun giving away to the moon.
Symbolic of our status.
But you aren’t here and those feelings that I should have ignored
Have proved me right.
I should have been scared of love
Especially this love because I didn’t realise how close it would come
To being the end of me.
Quixotically Perfect
