Stumble

I don’t know what to make of you.

So new, so alien, yet beautiful

I was falling, swaying with the wind,

I was walking backwards, compelled

To rethink, rearrange, walk into a wall

I wasn’t prepared, in all honesty.

Naked to the bones,

I held my head and moulded it constantly.

I don’t know what happened when

We started running,

Like strange children on a rainy day,

Splashing on puddles, holding hands,

Lisping stories, making faces

I am glad. I am learning to read your face.

Learning something new, something delicious everyday

I pinch myself every morning.

Trace my footsteps back, looking in vain at empty corners

I don’t know what to do about that either.

So much love I float

So much love I laugh

So much love I wonder

How did we stumble upon each other?
