Day One

It hit me like a ton of bricks
Full on, face first, slam
Where it came from, I’m not sure
It fell from the sky
It crept up on me
It was here
And that was that
I didn’t argue
I didn’t protest
I accepted it
I wanted it
It was there, and I took it
Mine
All mine
Selfishly, I took it
I didn’t care what others though
It hit me, not them
They could whine
Complain
But I wasn’t going to
Sure as hell, I’m young
Sure as hell, my mind isn’t right
But you don’t need age, sanity for it
When it hits, you know
Some people run
Some people hide
Others grab it, abuse it
Others take it, care for it
I took it
I nursed it
It hit me
But I needed to care for it
If I didn’t
I’d be a mess
Like those who abuse it
I cared for it
I knew what I had to do
I knew what had to be said
So I cradled it
In my nervous arms
In my beating heart
I carried it with me
Held it close
Afraid to let it free
And when the moment was just right
I let it go
I let it free
Into the sea of stars
“I love you”
