Superman

You make me happy.

That is like saying

you make gravity

pull the other way.

Did you know you were

Superman?

Let's fly a little

higher

please –

the skies look clearer

way up there

and anyway

your hands in mine

are strong:

If I close my eyes and stand

on your feet

(not like dancing; you won't mind)

you'll keep me steady

stable

safe.

But even if you forget

how to fly

or someone stabs you

with kryptonite

(hell, it happens)

and we take a tumble

I won't mind –

I'm already falling for you.
