This is what happens when you fall in love

At first you take no notice at all.

You laugh with the rest,

and lean on the wall,

turn away your head

as she talks of her dead.

Then a sadness comes in

slowly at first,

its touch on your skin

sinks deep within.

�

You watch her in awe because you have

Never experienced such dread

Never touched your own flesh dead.

Have never felt so much love.

�

How lonely this makes you feel

as you think on her - strong and apart

and this love melts the seal you had tightened onto your heart.

You see her constantly

as she tries to regain a hold on.....life

You watch her.....with the bared nerves of your need

And you tell her she has come out whole,

With more grace than she could ever conceive.

But it's catching in your throat

You want to hug her, in answer to the ache of ...desire

But you don't......
