Falling Together

It was so crazy how two people could fit together

How we could fall together then just stick

I never expected him to be the one

But now I’m never alone

Even when he’s not with me

Because I know his thoughts are

And I learned how wrong I was

And it’s crazy how we fell together

When in a dark time he was there

And expected nothing from me

Rather, he extended his arms and opened his ears

Held me close and listened to it all

And denied any claim that I owed him everything

And it’s crazy how we fell together

How now I can always sleep

His arms holding me safely

Or stay up if we wish

His hands tracing the mountains and valleys of my bones

An exploration of familiar ground
