Falling for Illusions

The day that I first saw you,
I never would have guessed,
that thinking of you and your words
would cause my heart to race in my chest.

I still don’t understand, I cannot comprehend,
just what this is between us, a love that doesn’t end?
I wonder if I really even know the person that you are,
or if I’m putting all my faith in wishes upon stars.

So complicated things do seem, the puzzle that we are,
are we meant to fit together with all our missing parts?
Can this be truly love or what is it really at all,
somehow though I cannot help myself, for you that I must fall.
