She fell first

She fell first, but he melted right after

She fell for his smile but he dreams of her laughter

She fell first but he loved her all along,

and he listens to her voice

like he memorizes his favourite song

She fell first, but only because it took him

a second to catch his breath from falling as her eyes started to flicker

She fell first, but he was in physical pain

 when she spoke of what she loved but never mentioned his name

She fell first, but oh, God, when he fell,

it was so obvious that everyone could tell

She fell first but maybe that’s a lie,

because the way he speaks about her, definitely isn’t shy

She fell first, but now they stand together

and he says “Nothing has ever worked before because I hadn’t met her.”
