I thought it wasn't possible

I was going to be safe

I wasn't going to make things awkward

I was going to fall, hard, and

There would be no one to catch me

And hold me tight

But there it was

Four, five words I can't forget

A nightmare I was in

A dream I don't want to wake up from

Fleeting glances from across the room

Scared eyes rendered speechless

A few minutes to talk

Or just hold your gaze, fingers intertwined

I haven't been so happy in so long

I don't know if you know

How much you mean to me

Somehow, you've kept me alive, breathing

Through the pain and the tears

You don't know exist

So please, keep being you

There is no one else I'd rather fall for
