I want to make this simple,
Because simple has the connotation
Of meaning easy. I want to say
That I am just a women who loves you,
Though she didn't mean to--
But I am not prone to simplicities,
And so I cannot tell this tale as such,
As if it was just a common accident
Between a man and woman.
Love is never an accident.
I have dreamed this, breathed this life
Even as I feared it, and I could claim innocence,
But, my dear, we both know I'd be lying.
I have dreamed this from the very first smile,
As you caught my eye and held it, I felt
For the first time in a long time. I have breathed
In sacred dreams that kiss the consequences
Like a jilted love, and I pay this world no mind
Because everyone else is faceless, save you.
Love is never an accident.
Somehow I don't feel out of place anymore,
As if this existence of mine is no longer
Lived in doubt, and it is strange how you
Can make me understand these ways of mine,
These ways I lived in silence, in secret, in plainsight.
Somehow I don't feel so alone anymore,
Somehow you've made me see, hear, feel, and touch
More deftly than I ever thought I could,
Or would be capable of.
Love is never an accident.
I could tell you exactly how and why
I fell; I could describe the moment that broke
That once treasured balance, that I, the Libra
Sought to overturn--but who tipped the scales?
Was it you or I? I could tell you exactly where
And when this changed from copper to silver,
Where the water flowed through the air
And the air through the water,
Only to bring me here, to you,
Only to bright you here, to me.
No,
Love is never an accident.
