New Beginnings

You try to walk… You dont know where you are going. You are under a spell. His spell. You met him in midflight. You were looking for nesting grounds… He was looking for beauty. And you almost ran into him. You almost missed him… What was it? You can’t remember. Today you are under a spell. He knows you want to swing sky high…

He knows you like to play with fire… He knows you are waiting to be consumed.

He apologizes… not for who he is, but for how he behaved. He loves you. He thinks you hate that word. And you just stand, seeing him struggling. You are almost tempted to touch his cheek. To kiss his forehead. But you want him to figure it out himself. He will. You know it. Because he likes to answer your questions so much.

He has come to visit you and tonight you are making room for him. You want him to be at home. Because you intend to make him enjoy every moment of his stay. You wish he would stay forever. But you dont tell him. He will know… You know it. He reads your face. He reads your eyes. He reads your lips… He will figure it out. He’s smart enough.
