When Boy Meets Girl

Dance like stars
And fall like rain
Run like the wind
and cripple like pain.

The grass changed green over night
and pollen covered flower's sight

Dreaming between sheets
of two different worlds
longing for the moment
when boy meets girl.

The make-up rubbed from my eyes
Elbows resting upon my thighs
Secretly smiling to myself
Dreaming of taking my heart off the shelf.

But I am afraid to show it to you
Kept in a jar, cracked and abused.

I decided to give you a chance
But it slipped from your fingers
Watched it shatter with only a glance
and still the brokeness lingers.

I sat in the floor
and stared at the bits
until a knock on the door
saved me from my fits.

A long, moaning creak
as I took a peek
to see who it might be
and indeed I'd see

That it was you
remaining true
to that pact
coming back
to patch the cracks.

I jumped into your arms
forgetting the harm

The air began to swirl
as our feet left the ground
in a tumultuous twirl
a new healing was found.

I smiled up at you
You smiled down at me
At the secret we knew
that set us free.

You grabbed my hand
and we took off running
Never had we felt so grand
or looked so stunning.

I knew this was my future unfurled,
and in my shoes my toes curled,
this was the moment of  boy meets girl.
