I Fell

That was it,

The moment I knew so much,

But actually knew nothing at all.

I felt so tiny, so helpless

Like a leaf caught in a storm.

Yet I felt so proud,

Unbelievable pride for what you’d achieved.

Your life lying ahead of you,

And I knew that I wanted to be there.

When you are achieving

I want to be beside you.

When you are smiling

I want to be smiling beside you.

When you feel vulnerable

I want to hold your hand,

I want to be your shoulder to cry on,

The one you want to hold you close

through it all.

 

I joined you,

Never wanting to leave your side again.

You were oblivious to my epiphany,

Unaware of anything except the band,

       the music.

You were a little worse for the wear

and if you had been any other man

I would’ve felt that familiar pang of embarrassment.

But not with you.

Not even close.

I was proud.

It may seem silly, but because of this feeling,

This pride,

I knew I had fallen already,

And now my head was finally catching up with my heart.
