what we do doesn't define
who we are
what defines us is how well
we get up after we fall

i guess i've always been lousy
with getting up
there's only one "getting up" i'm goot at
and even that gets me
into a lot of crap
we define ourselves by
how well we carry our souls
and stay afloat for as long as we could
just because we've more strength
than we ever expect ourselves
to have had

i am bewitched by you
your tantalizing eyes
your coy smirks, your inevitable kisses
what more could i ask for
than the gates of heaven themselves -
i'd open them, and carry you inside.

corny ain't i?
geez, what the hell.
