In a Rush To Love

We skipped the steps, we leapt instead,

no calm hellos, no words unsaid.

We kissed before we learned to breathe,

we built a world we couldn't keep.

You said forever on day three,

and I believed it, foolishly.

I packed my heart without a plan,

and placed it in your careless hands.

Love came like waves that crash too fast—

no roots, just fire that wouldn’t last.

Yet in that blaze, I saw the sun,

not knowing we'd come sound one.
