it just happened one night
she just walked into my life
the details are fuzzy
a combination of alcohol and tiredness
but she was there, on the street
or rather on her lawn
and it was like she was calling my name
but i didn't know it,
not yet anyway
everything about her draws me in,
her pale green eyes that light up when she smiles
her voice, her arms, her every move.
and that smile that knocks out my fears
everything about her gives me comfort
and falling into her web was out of my control
it was inevitable
attraction is a funny thing that way
no matter how wrong it might be
it clouds your mind, it takes over
and the next thing you know
you're caught
but the worst part is you don't even care
you can pretend to struggle,
pretend to be weak
but the truth is you want to be there
limbs tied down, heart pounding
refusing to move
wanting nothing more than to be trapped there
to be unable to break the spell
and you could care less
that's the way it is with her
i get stuck in her essence
and not a single part of me wants to pull away
i'm perfectly content with being devoured
besides, attempting to resist is pointless,
why try and avoid something that great.
something that makes it hard to speak
something that makes you unable to think
and blush whenever it crosses your mind
so, regardless of how wrong it might be
i think i'm just going to soak it in
i'm going to lay with my head on her shoulder
while she runs her fingers through my hand
and i'm going to listen to the sound of her heart.
because i can't imagine life without that sound anymore.
its embedded in my brain, and i refuse to let it go.
and i'm okay with that.
its not something i'm going to regret
and its not something i'm willing to give up.
