I fall in love
so easily.

Maybe that’s why I built
the walls massive and secure 
and the trenches so deep,
maybe that is why I was hesitant
to let you in.

Because;

The first time I met the ocean,
he waved to me,
then pulled me in-
ankles first
and heart second.

The first time I met the moon-
I mean the first time I really saw it 
glistening in the sky 
and kissing the stars-
I fell for him too.

The first time I met the mountain-tops 
with their vast glorious peaks,
they captivated me like nothing else,
and I felt myself entertaining a new passion 
for their immense beauty.

I thought all that was enough-
I didn’t think I needed more

But then,
I met you.

and the first time I met you
your deep ocean eyes wrapped me up like a high tide,
your glistening smile created this instant demand for your lips,
and when you did kiss me-
they brought me to heights mountains couldn’t touch.

The first time I met you;
I saw myself
falling again
for the last time.
