and so
i fell in love with you on every mountain
on every shore
i fell asleep buried in you like you had been there before i was really awake
and so
i fell in love with you on both sides of a coin
it never landed it just kept flying
and i couldn’t see an ending to the flames
and so
i fell in love with the way you move like the tips of trees
with the way you pull me toward something that feels the most like lightning
i only see a need to speak when the sun sets
and it is blazing right in my eyes
the minutes spin you into my life
and i see no need for second chances
i would do it all over again like a storybook
flip back to the beginning and
taste your lips on mine
