Falling in Love

Monday, November 17, 1997 | 2 minute read

Alone and lonely was I
Seated on a bench, staring at the sky
In you walk, elegant and charming
Sit beside me and smile my way
I extend my arms to hold your hands
With an innocent smile and a toss of hair
You cuddle closer while I smell your air
With one arm around you,
The other lifts the face
A brief pause and you close your eyes
Our lips meet and in flows the energy
As our heart beats in sync with the kiss
I realize, I’m falling in love with you
The clock strikes a note, you push me away
Walk out my life, you choose the way

Alone and lonely was I
Seated on a bench, staring at the sky

Alone and lonely was I
Seated on a bench, staring at the sky
In you walk, with no pretension of the task
The deceptive smile hides the mask
Bending my stiffness, you cuddle up to me
Melting in your charm, I hug you close
The warmth of your body hides the cold
The freshness of your lips on my fold
is all I need in this lonely world
As we blend like a single threshold
I realize, I’m falling in love with you
Time ticks past, I’m lost in you
Until the mask falls, and you walk out cold
Leaving behind a broken mold

Alone and lonely was I
Seated on a bench, staring at the sky
