The fall

I would like to remember my first sight of you for a lifetime
I would like to remember our walks and how our words braided until our hearts touched
I could feel myself falling and dig my heels in to slow the fall
We talk about private things, you are brave in your openness and I feel open to you
I would like to remember holding your hand, and how your fingers enthusiastically and sweetly explored mine and wander to hold me
I would like to remember our first kiss and that your lips made me forget my name
I would like to remember how my breath leaves me when I look into your eyes
I find the need to dig my heels deeper as I fall faster
I may seem impenetrable but I have to ask you to be cautious with my heart
Because I want to remember my first sight of you and what falling feels like and tell my head to be quiet
