maybe icarus didn’t fall at all / but was reaching down to hold his lover / his lover who had the stars in her eyes / his lover who had roses blooming in her hair / his lover who had the map of the world tattooed onto her arms / creeping up to where their hands are intertwined. / their trust is without borders / they can walk upon the clouds / wherever she’d call him, he’d go. / i really want to fall in love with you, but i know i shouldn’t / because then you’d need to fall too.
and everything feels natural / a dream gone right. he’s no longer afraid / of the world he’s fallen into, or the accumulation of feelings that molded him into the person he is today. / because each day is a new twenty four hours / each day means everything’s possible again. / he lives in the moment / he dies in the moment / and he takes it all one day at a time. / he tries to walk in the light. / is your love too much to ask for?
