Rise and Fall

We fall down hard, onto each other
Our chests rising and falling together
As we try to catch our breath you whisper
I love you still rings in my ears, you are the keeper
Of my heart, you own my emotion
When I look at you I get the notion
That I have never fallen so fast or so hard
Your name is scarred into the skin of my heart
There is a part of me now that will always belong to you
A part that will only ever exist with you
Just breathe into me, tell me everything you want to say
You are like air to my lungs, like the sun to the day
Without you there is nothing to light up the darkness
And to live in a world without you would be like living in blindness
Never seeing beauty or the perfections that do still exist
Never feeling butterflies, like the ones I get when we kiss
If you would wrap your hand around mine for just a second
I will never let you go, my love for you will never be weakened
So fall hard onto me, and I promise I will be there to catch you
Let go of fear, hold fast to my heart, as it sings I love you
