If I Must Fall, Let It Be From A High Place

I imagine small moments with you

Lingering touches no one else notices

Sly glances no one else sees

Inside jokes no one else interprets

Imagine me standing just a little too close to you

But you don’t move away so I stay still

Imagine our hands colliding

And hesitating before letting go

Imagine legs pressed against one another

Under the guise of not enough room

Imagine shared song lyrics as secret notes

Moments between us no one else knows

Imagine each of us hoping for a message

Searching for reasons to reach out

Imagine you craving the contact

Me smiling at the thought of your satisfaction

Imagine the timbre of your voice buzzing through me

Me enraptured by the rhythm of your words

Imagine your light being the only thing I can see

To pull me out of this darkness I’ve been coasting in

Imagine you knowing exactly what I mean, how I feel

You giving me the courage the grow and the strength to do what I must

Imagine these tiny flickers of affection

Becoming all consuming flames devouring our senses

Imagine our passions overpowering our reason

We’ll have ask forgiveness since we never asked for permission

Imagine this being reality instead of a fantasy

Growing inside the part of me I thought had been snuffed out

I imagine small moments with you
