Fall with everything in your heart, completely.


Image Source

I am flying free on the wings
You drew
On the leftovers, you forgot
To take with you 

I’m wishing you were by my side
I’m remembering the joy in your voice
The glow of your beautiful smile 
When you turned and disappeared
I wondered when and if

I would ever see you again 
It was so easy for you to turn away
Like our night
Was just another day
Nothing special, nothing new
While my heart silently
Pleaded for you to stay 
Wishing only for you  

How could my heaven with you
Be something so simple and
So second thought
Something tomorrow, you easily outgrew? 

Now, all I can do

Is just hope and pray completely
That somehow my heart believed true
That you fell for me that night
As I, fell for you…

    Your thoughts and emotions are expressed with so much clarity and fluidity. The read is terrific though sad because of the subject matter. I sure hope he does, for his sake anyway. Very well written. Michael
