Falling In Love


You're in

And then you're out

Just when I feel

I can trust this feeling

Lay my head down 

You're already gone

Like the wind

Moving in and out of a window

It's impossible to wrap my arms around you

But I still feel you

And my love 

Just grows stronger

The longer

You fight this

 

Give up

Give in to me

Isn't it about time you see

All that we can be

But you're still so scared

Always so unsure

So much resistance

When you have nothing left

To lose or prove

Not with me and you

All that you can do

Is rest your tired heart

Right down next to mine

Let time

Do it's time on us

Break the rules 

Just for a little while

Let loose

And smile

Break free

For me

 

I count the days

When you're gone

I count your steps

As you walk away from me

Your back

I have it down

LIke a scar 

On this bruised heart

I still find myself

Still reaching for you

I toss and turn

In the dark

And this heart burns

All it wants

Is to trust you

 

Take it easy

Take it easy on me

Let me in

Let me break down the walls

Under the skin

I see you

Here and there

But I feel you

Everywhere

I taste you

On my tongue

Even long after you're gone

And if you'd let me

We could have it this good

All the time

You and me

 

So stay

Stay the night

With me

Just us

No one else to bother us

No rules or lies

Just you

Wrapped up in me 

Your skin against mine

Just two crazy kids

Wasting time

Falling in love

<p>I'm not sure if you know the term "first lover," but I think this poem shows how you feel with your first lover. It's hard to be together, but you are just happy with whatever you have with that person.</p>
