on falling (slowly)

I don't know you, but I want you all the more for that.- Glen Hansard (Falling Slowly)

When you wrap your arms around me, I want to pinch myself to make sure that its real.

I squeeze my eyes shut and lean in to kiss you,

because the feel of a kiss is better than a pinch.

My hair falls in my face, and I go to shove it aside, but you beat me to it.

One hand on either side of my face, you push my hair behind my ears and smile at me.

I am trying not to fall so fast-

but you're making it really hard on me.

On Rainy Days (and Tuesdays)

Well I've got something to say, but you might laugh, joke, or run away. Cos' I'm awkward, and nervous, sometimes I don't say much at all.- James Morrison (If the Rain Must Fall)

I want to feel the rain drop down on me, one drop after another awakening me until I can no longer discern one from another.

Maybe then I'll get this place I'm in.

on falling

I feel alright when I think about you.-Ryan Adams (Beautiful Sorta)

My head hurts like crazy, my foot aches, I have scratches that I don't know how they got there-

but if I had to fall to get where I am now,

then I guess I'm okay with it all.
