BEDA 30: The end [some days]

Some days I wonder if this is real
Is this how love's supposed to feel?
Can both my brain and heart go missing
Whenever we start kissing?

My mother told me to stay away from you
That all the things you told me weren't true.
But how can I believe that when you say to me
All the things that no one else ever bothered to speak

When you whisper those kind, sweet words in my ear
All the things every girl has ever wanted to hear.
And you tell me that I don't have to change
I no longer hold myself chained.

You saw me first as somebody
another living, breathing, feeling entity.
Not another piece of furniture in your universe
Accepting my opinions without being terse.

And you are always so perfect, flawless, superhuman
Except for the times when I see that you're just a man
and the times when you get quiet
And all those beautiful thoughts are silent.

I am constantly reminded that you too are mortal
No matter how strong or tall
you are human and therefore can feel things
And you're not an angel, you have no wings.

So I am here to save you right back
to catch you when you fall under attack.
And you make me feel more
human and powerful than I ever did before.

Thank you for everything you've given me
Thank you for you and your subtlety.
I will miss you when you leave me
to save someone else who needs someone like you, someone like me
