Truth

I told myself I wouldn't feel this way, that my life was going in an utterly new direction and then you stepped in... My world did a 180 degree backflip and now I hang here with my hair in front of my eyes, the blood rushing to my head and I feel so alive in every way. "You fool!" I yell at myself, but I just can't catch my breath when you're around. My mouth is dry and I am speechless, and this lack of blood to the rest of my body is making me woozy. I'd drop to my knees if only I could, but my circumstance makes it impossible. And yet you're there, always standing two feet on the ground, so calm and certain of where everything is going for you, unaffected by my presence here in my parallel universe, or at least it appears as such to me. I could only wish you would join me here, either that or stop my 5th grade antics for just a moment so I could see things clearly. Hold me close darling, keep me safe, it's what I need from you right now.
