if it's not leaving us light headed. All my headaches are in my chest for you now.
I never thought you'd be what you are to me now. I thought it'd be merely like a passing of a leaf through the chilled autumn breeze. One that slowly tumbles to the ground, and ever so quietly makes its exit.
Boy, was I ever wrong.
Sure, you entered the same. Slow, delicate and with the same casual ease as the winds of the fall. However, you ended up staying for quite some time, moving closer with every push of the air. I found my smile gradually widening with the passing of the days and weeks. But then ever so slowly, the breeze has inevitably switched directions. I found that smile creeping away, as my heart began to crack. Paces quickened and things happened faster. The breeze picked up, and off you were. Now I find myself struggling, chasing, trying to keep a grip. Though now an opposing wind has set in. I find myself being pushed back as you're being pulled ahead. I don't have the strength to fight it. I feel now more than ever that I've been defeated and there's no use in fighting. But then there's those moments when I catch the distant sparkle in you eyes and it sends electric currents through me. As though your heart is calling to mine to keep fighting because it knows that you feel this more than your mind does. After all it's the heart that really matters.
People can always change your mind - but they can never change what's within your heart.
So make like a leaf and fall, I'll be the grass patiently waiting to catch you.
This won't make any sense - it was better in my head.
