fallen

fallen

A Poem by Israfell
"

this is the story of how i met her. you may call it luck, but i call it fate.

"
i had lots of doubts about love
when i was younger
i was constantly lonely and in fear of
being alone
i "dated" a few guys
and i guess they were alright
but i still couldn't find myself lost in their eyes
i still didn't get those stomach butterflies
i didn't understand why it wasn't like
the movies

i had more feeling and more love
for the people that never gave me a chance
never took time to look at the fragile girl
that was falling for them
and by the time i'd fallen, and deep
they had already walked away
they didn't stop to catch me

i didn't start thinking properly until highschool
and even then
i was still giving myself up
to people who didn't give a s**t about me
and not only with love, but with friendship
i was told i wasn't allowed
to be depressed
i was told i wasn't allowed
to be anxious
just because i lived in a household
not poisoned by drugs, abuse, or alcohol

i spent a year as a freshman figuring out
why i was so lonely
and i taught myself that i didn't need someone
to love
so the next year, when i was sent to a new school
i changed

i figured out that i was sick of boys
but i was still lonely
and in that lonliness i fell for someone new
someone that gave me hope

i was already falling
and i knew she was about ready to jump with me
but there were doubts
she was confused and by the time i had
jumped
she was still unsure about following me

that's when i started crying a lot
i wasn't able to control my emotions anymore
that's when i came out to my parents
and every day after school i would cry about it
they were supportive, of course
but i was still a little bit confused

after getting over that girl
who i realized i wasted so much of my time on
i started falling for someone else
she was kind and funny
and i envied how surrounded with friends she was
she had so much beauty in her smile
and i felt so powerless around her

it all started with a message on tumblr
and she answered back
i knew then we were both falling for each other
the first time i ever felt this way

we aimlessly walked about school
knowing we liked each other
but not doing anytrhing about it
until we went to a local fair
and i didn't hold her hand
and i didn't kiss her
and i didn't tell her i loved her
but we laughed and
we got to know each other
since then i knew i had found someone
worth falling for

that night i asked her out on facebook
which to this day i still think of as stupid
but the man working the ferris wheel
had broken my heart
when he said it was closing
and i had to hug her
goodbye

it escalated from there
we talked while i was on vacation for a week
unable to hold her in my arms
for the first time
but we made it work
i may have been hundreds of miles away
but i could still love her from there

when i came back, finally able to be by her side
we made the teachers insane
i don't blame them
it was pda afterall
she started kissing me, 
and i'd never kissed like that before
she started holding me,
and i never craved touch like hers before

and now we've been together for
almost 2 months
a short amount of time
that so much happened in
i like her a lot, i still do
but
i still get lonely

i still don't know how she can handle
my excessive paranoia
because when she's not in my arms
when hasn't talked to me for a day
when she misses a day of school
i get worried
more worried than i've ever been
maybe it's because i don't want to lose her
maybe it's because i've never had someone like her
maybe it's because
she's fallen along with me
and i don't want anyone to catch her
