'The time has come' the Walrus said 'to think of other things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax. Of cabbages and kings. Of why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.'


Until your blue eyes met mine, 

I didn't realize how easy it was to drown

In oxygen.

 

Until your hands burshed mine,

I had never felt birds in my stomach.

These weren't butterflies.

 

Until you brushed the hair from my face,

I had never been so thankful

For my long, frizzy hair.

 

Until you pressed you lips against mine,

I never knew I could have such longing

For another persons lips.


The author's comments:

Love can be a scary thing, which is why I wrote this poem. It can be scary to need someone so much that without them you forget how to breathe.
