HAVE YOU EVER?

Have you ever fallen in love?

You could literally see your breath in someone else’s hands

You’ll feel your ribcage crack open

Waiting to retrieve that which was taken

But then it felt autumn peace been laid in the case of another

And all you had to do was connect

Have you ever fallen in love?

When your eyes were blinded to all flaws

The rumors from the crowd sounded like reasons not to leave

Your eyes were hypnotized by relentless smiles

And your heart no longer pumped blood but ink

Because you’ve written just too many love letters already

Have you ever fallen in love?

Where your dreams were filled with you both in Eden

Built castles out of your fears

Made promises from your doubts

Made your stars align

And even the stretched clouds wished for warmth

Have you ever fallen in love?

So much your face shone like Moses

And your rock voice became fragile as wind

Your strength became weakness every time your eyes exchanged pleasantries

You wished you could pause time

Freeze the moments and keep it iced

Make your mind museum cos you shelved every encounter

Have you ever fallen in love?

So hard you could melt the mounts with a mere stare

Yet so subtle you could make the butterflies jealous

Have you ever fell in love?

Yes I have,

With you, you reading this.
