Fairy Dust

We were so willing to see each other
If only to sit in silence and stare
Deeply into each others' eyes,
Your multi-faceted gaze never wavering.
And now it seems so one-sided.

I don't know what I've done this time,
And I don't know how to fix it, or even if I can.
All I know is that I feel almost alone
And it seems like you're not affected.

I'm afraid we are losing what we have.
Afraid it's starting to slip away.
And that you don't want to catch it.

It's beginning to become more of a lust
And less of a love.

Our fairy dust has finally disappeared.

Too Soon

Two weeks - not even.
How is it that
Already I'm falling fast
And can't seem to slow?
Somehow my suspicions are fading,
Somehow I'm letting you in.
I don't know how you've done it.
And here you are.
Can't escape the whirlwind of emotions,
Don't think I want to.
Please don't stop swirling.
Please swirl slower,
Let me catch my breath,
Get our heads back on straight.
You say you lose yourself in my eyes
I lose myself in your kiss.
I haven't done that in awhile.
I've never done that this soon.
It scares me to see
How deep we're falling
And yet, I embrace it.
Welcome the fear.
Let my guard down for you.
Give you the tools to break me.
And I trust, as I haven't before
That you can save me.
