Falling

I fell for you so fast,

like a leaf falling in the October wind.


The day I saw first saw you,

your fingers dancing graciously,

along the black and white keys;

you became my light in this world of darkness,

my Apollo in disguise.


The smile that plays on my lips –

tender and sweet,

disappears when you’re not here.


Waiting for you,

my heart falls back into the same old melody –

slower and lighter,

bum bum…bum bum…


Being without you,

the emptiness grows;

the nights grow longer;

and I get weaker.


Sometimes I lay in bed,

thinking of you,

of how you’d be my Paris,

and I, your Helen.


I remember your smile,

your delicate, pink lips

reaching your eyes.


And I thank Venus,

for such a blessing as you,

who shines as bright as the stars,

when the skies are dark.
