I didn’t mean to fall for your
magnificent intellect and brilliant eyes
I didn’t mean to fall for your
stunning curves and accent
I didn’t mean to fall for your
innocent laugh and magnetic charm
I didn’t mean to fall for your
echoing fortress and wide skies
I didn’t mean to fall for your
lips of ecstasy and golden tongue
I didn’t mean to fall for your
luscious skin and blissful scent
I didn’t mean to fall for your
beloved moon and drops of silver
I didn’t mean to fall for your
desirous flame and solid wick
I didn’t mean to fall for your
intoxicating personality
still we have no control over destiny
and luck is not the same as fate.
Reflections blending through a window
lovers and strangers, the cruelest fate.
My heart is a bird trailing its shadow
Its course charted and true</
I never meant to fall,
but I’ve fallen like the night for you.

Loved this collaboration about falling in love, something we have no control over. It’s like imprinting in Twilight, this was a great write. I loved how your verses sounded so apologetic, it added to the feeling, and Holly is amazing to work with….you two did great.🌹
