So many things in life that are opposites seem so similar.
I kissed you, and you fell to the ground,
and I didn't catch you but I could've.

I just missed the signs of falling,
and misinterpreted them as landing,
and then there you lay,
sprawled on the ground,
and I looked you in the eye,
and my heart joined you on the floor,
and it crept up to your ear and whispered,
"Why?"

And you rolled over on your side,
and you picked up my heart.
You kissed it once, and held it to your face,
and you said, "Don't worry about me."

You stood up,
unbuttoned my heaving chest,
nestled my heart back inside,
and slowly walked away.
