Falling In Love... Poem by Matthew Edan Oliver Palma

I never really fully realized that I have fallen in love with you until now…. not until it seems that I know almost everything about you… your favorite color… how you like your food served… how you nibble at it before you chew it and eventually swallow it… how you play with the salad with your fork… how you would secretly smile when it seems I get frustrated… what you do before you sleep and before you actually get out of bed in the morning… your favorite expressions… gel… clothes brand… shoe brand…, it seems I have had you mapped out from the very mundane things about you to the last minute detail of your idiosyncrasies…that inspire of this fact… I still find you extremely interesting and enigmatic…. that I still feel and see each moment with you as something magical and captivating… ensorcelling, spellbinding... I can’t believe that I would know a humongously gargantuan amount of information about you in so short a time… my academic subjects, if they can, would surely plot against me and plan my annihilation because of spite and jealousy…for my knowledge of them and fondness to them can and will never rival the careful attention and dedication I gave to you… my family would surely curse us for coming only second best to you….and my dog has been glaring at you and waiting for a chance to even scratch your silky smooth skin to avenge his sudden trip to oblivion because of you… You… and your world… are mine now… the ones you love I now love…. Your important things are my important things… you r dreams now I share… your fears now I fight… your tears… I will share….It is like I was never without you… nor will I ever be… without you….Its like my world and your world never existed….. only OUR world ever did….

I never really truly realized that I have fallen in love with you until now…. now that I wanted so much to share my world with you…. how excited I am to show you who I am…. inside…. flaws and all… share my joy and beam proudly about you to my friends…. introduce you to them….show you how the luckiest person in the world feels… how tall I feel because of you… and never be anymore transparent to anyone but you… I do love you…. from my heart of hearts…. I really do love you…. and I will always love…. I have never really thought about all of this until now…. now that I know that I have fallen in love with you….
