I Lost Control
~ C.L. Thielen
It was through the stars we met
And in them we were written.
But I didn't believe in fate
And the idea that I had no control.
I loved control.
I knew it was forever
From your first word.
That first syllable.
That first smile that lit up my entire world.
Falling...but I caught myself.
I loved control.
Dinner and the orchestra
Ideas so fascinating
I forgot my salad
And found myself in your eyes.
Falling...falling...but I caught myself.
I loved control.
A three hour flick
After dinner and the orchestra.
You held my hand.
And then kissed me for the first time.
Falling...falling...falling...
I lost control.
But I found something better
In between the lines
Of our astronomy classwork.
Written on your calculator
When the teacher wasn't looking.
I lost control.
But I found something wonderful
Woven into the skirt I wore
And the tie you had on at dinner
That night you kissed me
For the first time.
I lost control.
But I found something incredible
Hidden in your embrace
As you pulled me close
And told me you loved me.
Your kiss still feels like the first time.
I lost control.
But I found something heavenly
Glimmering upon the water at our feet
Wavering in your voice.
Incandescent in the stone the band held
Hopeful in your eyes
I lost control.
But I found something eternal
Waiting within my soul
Tremoring within my hand
As I gave it to you
And whispered,
"Yes"
