Lately Lately my phone hasn't been ringing the way it used to, Taking my calls straight to voice mail, And now, that's even empty. Empty the same way my heart used to be. I used to think selfishly, Unwilling and not wanting to change. Defying many of those that cross me. Sometimes, not even able to carry my own weight. Simply defining the way I think and react to my daily life, Lifeless! Sometimes if I wasn't not careful, I would begin to just exist, And just existing is never enough for me, So I began to move, Move on and on and on. Then one day I stopped. I let the breath go that I was inhaling, And found a new reason to exhale. You see, He gives me reason to live, and want to live. I am a feline waiting on my nine lives, Because I don't mind using them, If they'll be spent with him. I am a blank cd in a cd copying program, And lately he's been copying his files on me. Injecting my system with all of his goods, Needing never to go into my hard drive and remove anything from him. Instead, I am constantly installing his systems onto mine, Making more room in my space. I am... taking my first step like a baby into his world, And my legs sometimes tremble, But in the end, I am still standing. And lately... I can't wait to fall, Because falling for him, on my way to him, and because of him, Can't be that bad! I am... Rewriting my language into a more complexed tongue. I am... Speaking of images broken down, that complete my puzzle. Games that have never been beaten, finally get a chance to meet their match. Like Mario, He has made it to the 8th stage and fourth level, Ready to beat the dragon, Or like Street Fighter, he continues then Haduuugen!  He mimics Raul, And He stands.... Undefeated! Undeniable, Understandingly irresistable! And consistantly, Being who he is! -Shai
