I never fell in love with you.
It wasn’t possible.
That reckless,
Trip and fall,
Slip and slip a disk
Kind of love that only allows you to kind of love
Another person,
And love them only for what you see,
Not who they actually are.
No.
I never fell in love with you.
Instead, I stood in it.
Soaked it in through the soles of my feet,
Cautiously
Like I was afraid to let it fully in until I was sure it could not hurt me,
Because I was- afraid that is.
Maybe it was an accident,
Standing in love,
But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t for the best
That doesn’t mean that every day I won’t choose to stand in love again
In fact, it got lonely,
Keeping you out,
Loving you silently,
So I told you.
And I meant it.
And I brought you in so you could stand in love with me.
In the puddle that I’ve built a wall around,
Solely for the purpose of keeping people out,
You are the one I let in.
And you are stuck with me now.
So get over it.
And stand in love with me.
