in love as in gravity it's not the falling but the sudden stop that hurts i can feel (you beside me) your gravity grabbing me pulling me inexorably into these pages of phrases and rhymes that i've found uncertain that any should be spoken aloud so i whisper (you beside me) secrets to shadows and wide ruled lines kept under wraps but easy to find easily defined as little intimacies between your heart and mine kept under wraps but easy to find easily defined as mountains from mole hills to subtle to find footing to climb so slip slide crash here we are (you beside me) no distance to far save the distance between our two hearts no difference to hard save the difference in the way we play our two parts me inspired from afar stumbling in the dark glimpsing life when i can manage to get the curtains to part you hands buried to the wrist holding tight with two clenched fists saying life doesn't get better than this plain in your eyes pure simple bliss i can feel it (you beside me) your gravity grabbing me pulling me inexorably into this world of fantasy where poetry can close the distance with just one sentence (you beside me) so i fill notebooks and pages with things i would say just to keep time at bay while this feeling is strong i relive and retrace every time, every place that i've seen your face and waited to long but now is no time for another sad song with commas where periods belong so i retrace and rewrite every minute of every night i was wrong all these words every line forever yours if ever mine
