When Did I Fall? (Poem)

When Did I Fall?

To J.H.- the one who made me believe.

We started out; my guard was up.
I didn’t quite believe in love.
It seemed enough to just spend time with you.
But you gave your heart, and so I took.
And now, I find that I am hooked.
I never thought I’d find something this true.
And I’m so at a loss. What do I do?

When did I fall?
When did I heed your call?
When was that moment in time
where I gave you my all?
When did I stay
instead of walking away?
What was it that drove me to love you?
I cannot say.
I’ve tried so hard, but I cannot recall.
When did I fall?

I never meant to get so deep,
but now I find I’m losing sleep.
Thoughts of you keep running through my mind.
The way you smile right back at me.
The way you kiss; you taste so sweet.
And if you have a flaw, I must be blind.
A reason to let go I cannot find.

When did I fall?
When did I heed your call?
When was that moment in time
where I gave you my all?
When did I stay
instead of walking away?
What was it that drove me to love you?
I cannot say.
I’ve tried so hard, but I cannot recall.
When did I fall?
