Love crashes
Stephen Knox 1970 (Bygland)
I can still climb into the moment, when I knew what I had found.
Being lifted up so high, that I could barely see the ground.
We think ourselves into the good times, so many when we were new.
Spreading them all around us, our custom relationship glue.
As time passed our love crashed, and we began to drift apart.
Since I couldn’t stop what I felt for you, so I went about breaking my heart.
The in and out, the back and forth, it took me down so deep.
But every time as if on cue, love would make me leap.
Back to you got harder and colder, with every time I fell.
In spite of that, the love I felt, kept me under your spell.
Removing myself from everything, the love I shared with you.
Taught me all about myself, and things I needed to do.
Our time together gave me tools, that I never had before.
No longer fearing anyone, passing through my door.
Love from a distance is a peculiar thing, it’s not like closeup love.
One learns to just send it out, and trust in god above.
