The Savage

You may think 

this is a thing I often do...

Blindly following

A complete stranger

Across all that 

gray, green and blue...

But to me,

all this was new... 

Or you may think 

I did  it 

just this once,

Because I craved 

the adventure...

the unknown...

And that may have been 

Partially true.

But only

at the beginning... 

and only maybe,

Because normally,

I would have sobered up...

Long before the end of 

the second night spent 

in your arms...

Long before I started feeling

like I was floating,

weightless among the stars...

That I didn't, 

come to my senses,

made this special.

The savage had me 

All tied up, 

And for once in my life,

Actually enjoying the thrill... 

For once in my life, 

I knew I would fall hard...

But I didn't hide from the pain.

With meaningless flirtations or  with disdain...

I just faced it all, head on.

So either this time was different...

Or I must be going insane!

Euphoria

For a minute there, I actually forgot,

That the magic almost always wears off...

For a minute there, I felt complete,

Invincible in the face of defeat...

Falling First

Wish I could stay cocooned in your arms,

Only feeling adventurous and alive,

And not worried about tomorrow in the least...

Wish I could just enjoy the safety of your touch,

Only feeling carefree and unafraid,

And not counting the seconds, to my next epic heartbreak...

But I know it's coming and it's gonna hurt.

Always does, when I think later and fall first.
