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.
