Falling feels like flying until the moment that you land.

Falling slowly let’s you feel cushioned in the dare

that you took with the first dive; understand

it’s masking the speed at which you’re already there.

Falling slowly let’s you feel cushioned in the dare

you made when you partnered with them;

it’s masking the speed at which you’re already there

at the culmination of the hymn

you made when you partnered with them—

I love you with all my strength and all my heart,

at the culmination of the hymn,

is fast to say, like flying, but there’s a hidden part

I love you with all my strength and all my heart

something like forever lodged on the tongue and

is fast to say, like flying, but there’s a hidden part

where I reach for and grasp your hand

something like forever lodged on the tongue and

that you took with the first dive; understand

where I reach for and grasp your hand.

Falling feels like flying until the moment that you land.
