Did you ever fall in love for the first time?
If not, I can tell you-
you’ll be changed.
The wind will be his kiss when he’s not
by your side,
colors will reach out with incredible loving hands,
the sweetness of a peach will impassion
every last one of your taste buds,
and music will have been composed, amazingly,
just for you..
Yes,
yes, that and more.
But that’s not what will change you-
not quite.
What will, however, rearrange your particles
after both the elation and inevitable suffering rip through,
what will wrap you up, enrapture your heart,
sing you to sleep, and bring you to greet each rising sun
with gratitude,
is a knowledge taught by your own body
that another’s adoration is not only not necessary
but that it was you who had to fall in love with you
all along.
But I don’t mean to ruin the game-
go forth
and fall.
