Falling Forever

Sitting in the classroom

constantly glancing at the clock

avoiding the professor and his

monotonous bashing on my ears.

My mind moves to its happy place

Where you play a very prominent role.

As the clock nears break time

My heart tempo increases

It's nearing the time when

I might catch a glimpse of you

exchange pleasantries

Imprint your smile and

the twinkle in your eyes,

yet again, in my mind.

So I may replay it

over and over.

To get through the next monotone.

Through to the end of the day

when I can leisurely

Admire you to my heart's content.

When we bid farewell for the day

I wonder if tomorrow

will be different.

Will you say anything more?

Will I pluck enough courage

To tell you my realizations?

That I'm falling for you.

And very fast.

Somebody very wisely said

Happiness lies in the pursuit

Not in the achievement.

But what if this pursuit

led to no achievement?

I fear we'll lose
What little we have

that I hold very dear.

I'm afraid of what

You'll have to say.

So I guess...

I'm falling forever.

Unless of course,

You stop by. To catch me.
