Witch -- Sophie Zhu
Editor's Note: This was a submission for the Valentine's Day Contest.
The thing about love is, you never expect to fall into it
To fall with your head spinning
down an endless abyss
Spiraling into the unknown that is so frightening yet so beautiful at the same time
Where even the smallest movements
A twitch of the lips, a glance that lingers a second too long
Makes your heart blossom
And the clouds are swept away by a breeze
And the warmth of the sun shines on the both of you
And you are in the spotlight together
For eternity
It's the little things that are the highlight of your day
That keep you moving forward
And in this abyss
In this daydream
you wish to stay forever
Until one day you realize
When will you stop falling?
And those little smiles and lingering touches are not yours
And the abyss becomes darker
No longer an adventure, but rather a punishment
And loneliness seeps in
And the silver linings of the clouds are the only light you can see in the sky
And you hold on to them with all your strength
But you're still falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
And no one is there to save you
The thing about love is, you never expect to fall into it
To fall with your head spinning
down an endless abyss
Spiraling into the unknown that is so frightening yet so beautiful at the same time
Where even the smallest movements
A twitch of the lips, a glance that lingers a second too long
Makes your heart blossom
And the clouds are swept away by a breeze
And the warmth of the sun shines on the both of you
And you are in the spotlight together
For eternity
It's the little things that are the highlight of your day
That keep you moving forward
And in this abyss
In this daydream

When will you stop falling?
And those little smiles and lingering touches are not yours
And the abyss becomes darker
No longer an adventure, but rather a punishment
And loneliness seeps in
And the silver linings of the clouds are the only light you can see in the sky
And you hold on to them with all your strength
