Accident. Poem by Brian Ben

I was late for class, I remember
He asked me to explain why before forty eyes
That is when my eyes first met yours
You were the prettiest girl
Your shadow was all over me
Moreover, in a single blink of the heart
There was an accident
We could not help but fall for helplessly
We carved our name on like all babies do
it was not all we needed, but all there was
We found those hidden places in each other
Places we did not know they ever existed
We wanted to die for each other
And if we fight, then for us all
The distance between us will always be small
Even when it takes me to be where you are
Because I vowed to be there for you, remember.
