Our picture-perfect shadows from a park bench
should not be all I have to remember you by.
A time when my head inclined toward yours,
and our bodies were one large shadow on the leafy ground,
and it was too right.
I might not be able to pull myself out
if I fall too far in.
I want to fall,
but then my heart pounds and I find myself
fleeing the scene guilty as a criminal.
Guilty of wanting to fall for someone so hard
that I might lose the chance to break away.
Guilty of not facing my fears.
By letting go I mean to pull you closer.
By holding tight I'm pushing you away.
help me.
