You've never been shy, but here you are – face bright and eyes shifting to the side – and if I didn't already love you, I'd fall for you right now.
And the breakfast you didn't make. And the flowers you brought me. And the kisses you lay at my lips.
I fall for you, over and over, water over the cliffs for you.

No more grand gestures. But no more silence either.
Only you, not wanting to leave my bedside and grinning at me and saying those things I crave.
And the eyes you turn my way. And the laughter you grant me. And the love you shelter me with.
I fall for you – hard and fast, a bullet or Superman, I'm no longer sure.

Fingers against the glass, you wave at me and I clutch the car keys tightly – because I'm going to miss you while you sing and strut in another city. But your timid declaration stays with me, on my shoulders like your arm and against my ear like your breath.
And all the words you've said and all the deeds you've done and all the ways you make me yours again.
I fall for you like the first time, locker doors and sand… birthdays and forward momentum…
