An Ordinary Day

I don't know how It happened. But I do know when; You were standing there Making a speech to Rally the troops. Promised us success and Happiness And I don't know how Or why it happened But I looked away For one second And when I looked up again You were new - You were glowing As if the very energy In the room Wanted me to see Wanted to show me That you were the one Meant for me. It was staggering I was sitting down And still I felt myself falling. You were there Glowing, emanating something Beautiful and insane, Talking as if Nothing had changed. And I was falling, Plummeting through space And time And then you looked at me And time didn't stop Didn't slow But i found myself Seated in the chair Staring into your eyes. And then you turned away And kept talking. They say love is A lot of things. Crazy and wonderful and Heartbreaking And it is, It's all of those things. But it's more. And it's so much less, Nowhere near as complex. Because we fall And we lose ourselves in The feelings of it all, But one look at them - At you, And I'm grounded. I can breathe again, Even though internally I can't stop screaming. I can see again Despite your eyes Haunting me. I can laugh again, Even as I picture You smiling. I don't know how Or why it happened But I remember when Because I panicked And then I didn't.
