Two Leafs in a Lake

I see you

Standing there

And I believe I am lucky

This is my other chance

To make things right for me

Because I want to be happy for once

I was laying in ruins on the ground

Wounded

And you picked me up

And mended this so-called wound

I'd like to say thank you

With tears in my eyes

Should I take the risk again

Of falling in love?

Should I open up to you?

You sweet smell of paradise

Believe me when I say

I'm scared

I just want to know

Will you be my spot of sunlight when it is raining?

I'm falling

In a good way

Because of you

The disease is spreading in me

Soon it will consume me

And I will become vulnerable to you

I wish to pass this disease on to you

And we can bask in it like two leafs in a lake

Don't let something this good not be shared

Things might work

We might happen

I just ask one thing from you

Don't tear apart my fresh wounds

That may never heal

Author's Note

Leafs is spelled like that on purpose

I like the thought of "falling in love" as a disease. True enough, it is scary because giving your heart to someone requires openness and being open will make us vulnerable. Nice one, stan!

I really enjoyed this :)

A good friend of mine once said: "Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to. " I think of that phrase when I read this. This poem strongly emphasizes how we all must put our guard down to receive love or it cannot be received. Great poem. A bold reminder of what love truly is. Bravo!
