Dreamer

falling in love for the first time
is something you will never forget
one minute, you are perfectly happy alone
the next, you're willing to give everything you have to someone else
in exchange for what exactly?
is it for the butterflies in your stomach when he walks in the room
is it for the rush you get when he touches you
the feel of his lips against your own
the sound of his voice saying your name
or the simplest of things
like the shape of his chin
the way he laughs
the dimple in his cheek when he smiles
the real answer is everything
you give your heart away
in hopes of receiving their heart back
but the funny thing
about the first time
is when you give yourself to someone
regardless of whether they'll give you anything in return
you blindly rush in
optimistic and eager to love
to be loved
so much so that you become numb to what's wrong
you adore his flaws
you ignore his mistakes
none of that matters

you've fallen
