Love at First Sight

I'll admit it. I fall in love at first sight. It happens daily. I love a passage in a novel, a button on a coat, shoes, the stories strangers tell me. The smile on a new face. Seeing the joy in a child's eyes, a good restaurant, the way a moon shines on a lake. I love. It is who I am. I can't help it. It's not my fault. How can there be anything wrong with loving? Loving something or someone requires no feedback, no expectations, no explanations. Love does not need to be accepted soley because it is offered. It may throw some people off their game, move them out of their comfort zone. Doesn't matter. I can't help it. I won't be ashamed. It is who I am. I love. It's my thing. It is what I do. Be as skeptical as you want to be. I'm used to proving myself. Why is it so impossible to believe you are loved? A very good question. In spite of my loving, I question those who love me. What a waste of time. Questions, Why? Of course you are loved, of course I am loved. we all are. It is our destiny. Personal memo to Miss Peach: Enjoy loving. Enjoy being loved. What else is there? Why not.

Here's an explanation. Maybe music says it better.

"Head Over Feet"

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
