Still Falling in Love

This is a poem that I wrote for my boyfriend around our one year anniversary to remind him how much he means to me. It is short and sweet but I think that's what I love about it. In a lot of my work, I spend hours and even days rewording and perfecting my poetry, but when I write for Dean I just let it flow out of my heart and into my fingers. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wrote this on the back of a napkin on a slow day at work. It's amazing isn't it? The beautiful things that love can produce? :]




"Still Falling in Love"

I know that I probably tell you enough
But baby I'm helplessly, hopelessly, falling in love
Not to be misleading, for perhaps you thought that with this fall I was already finished and done,
For my heart is one thing that you have long since won
But darling this is not the case
My leap into your love is an eternal, endless race
It continues on into each and every day
As I find new reasons to love you in each and every way

And while I plummet on down, I welcome the heart-pounding rush of air

That envelops me every time I open my eyes and see you there

You tempted me to lean over the edge, yet my own nature led me to trip

And I went hurtling down, gaining speed with each soft caress of your lips

This is quite the drop, one I never expected to have found,
And one that grows terrifying at times, with my fear of hitting the ground
But the sensation is one I never intend to lose
The adrenalin of this free-fall is far better than any other thrill can induce
Just wait at the bottom my love, my best friend,
To catch me in your arms, and throw me down again.
