For Margaret M.

i fell in love
and my heart stopped beating
and my breath stopped breathing
and i fell in love

i leaned over and kissed you
and my mind exploded
and my hands decided they should shake
but i leaned over and kissed you

then i tasted someone else's mouth for the first time
and i started smiling
and my heart started growing
and i tasted your mouth for the first time

i woke up in a sweat trying not to cry at the thought of losing you
and grabbed at the blankets
and rubbed at my eyes
after waking up from a dream where i lost you

i started to find out what living was like
after i kissed you
after i realized i love you, and you loved me too
and i'm starting to find out what living is like
