The beginning

these days melt away,
like leaves fall from trees
in the autumn sunset.
we fall away to the sounds,
of gentle hearts beating,
to the steady rhythm of love.

we fall asleep with images,
of hands held tightly together.
the spaces of my fingers filled,
with yours.

we dreamed of a love like this,
since we picked petals from flowers,
and wished upon stars.
now that we have it.
we lost it.
lost it.

we've drowned in the sea,
far to long to remember to breathe.
we've forgotten love and the butterflies,
we've lost the memories to pain.
our hearts stuffed to maximum,
capacity.

we've slammed doors,
broken hearts and
lied to others.
and yet we end up where we started.
right at the beginning.

where i met you along this shore,
we looked at each other,
and needed to know more.
we're right back at the beginning.
where we whispered promises
of love.

we felt those butterflies,
and happiness replaced pain.
because at the end of the day.
we realized our new beginning,
of being two kids in love
with the world at the edge of
their fingertips.
