Alice's In Love

5.25.05

I'm falling fast into your arms
You're my escape
From all that's routine
Countless gestures,
Small tokens of your affection
Fill the spaces in my heart
Puzzle pieces become scattered,
Instead of organized
You end where I begin.
I long to see myself in your eyes,
I know you'll keep me warm
Once I get there
I pinpoint my exact strategy
to become a prisoner of your heart.
I promise to sit quietly,
and only occupy a small sector of it,
if you let me.
Falling faster now,
down the rabbit hole,
I'm no longer grasping for branches
I welcome the speed,
I smile at the insanity of it all
and take comfort in the unknown
Because where I am headed
there is no safe landing
and I do not fear it any longer
I embrace us,
I welcome the possibilities,
and I promise to send you a postcard,
when I get there.
