If I Fall

 If I fall will you catch me ? "Don't fall." There are way to many stories of the knight in shining armor. The princess being rescued and running away to happily ever after. No knight, no princess, no rescue, no happily  ever after....just don't fall. No matter how old I get I find everyday brings something new. If you are not learning you are not living. I found there is no such thing as unconditional love. That two people loving on the same level is rare if not impossible. That life is a game and someone is always making a move. That the journey is to experience and loneliness is just one step in the journey. 

One set of stars above,

so many kinds of love,

a path that leads nowhere

as it circles back to here. 

The differences can't be explained,

older, wiser yet the same, 

like a game piece makes the move

I prepared to lose. 

I watched the moon cross the sky

as if it played tricks with my mind,

another day and another night 

is this all there is to life?

I couldn't bear to say goodbye 

as if something inside me would die,

I hung on to that very first hello 

as if I just couldn't let go. 

This story never to be told 

it never seems to get old, 

the feelings inside grow,

is this where the path goes?

It feels like a dead end

no chapters to begin, 

I can't see tomorrow thru

as there is no me and you. 

So many mistakes 

is that what it takes?

Lessons of old 

some still not told.

Tears never cease to fall

can't wash away it all, 

everything is carried on 

like words of a love song. 

~

I can't tell you exactly how it feels, 

so I'll borrow the words that history instills.

From forever after, to a love so true

in a song sung just for you. 

Maybe you'll think of me 

when the sun begins to rise 

and maybe again when

the night rules the sky. 

The energy can't be denied

powerful it united you and I. 

lost on a detour or two it aways

 comes back to me and you.
