Can't Help Falling In Love

One evening as I sit in my balcony looking at the flowers bloom on my plants, with Elvis Presley singing in the background, he says "Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you." I get lost in thought, the thought of you standing in the front leaning against the wall, telling me about your day and as you smile mid-conversation I can't focus on your story anymore, those wise men tell me not to fall in love with your smile but that's exactly what I do because would it be a sin if I can't help falling in love with you?

As I shake my mind off of this thought I hear Presley sing "Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be." And yet again I'm lost in thought, the thought of you and I sitting silently stealing glances waiting for either one of us to initiate a kiss, every second of that silence is fine because after it's over I can feel your lips on mine. That's how I know that somethings are meant to be.

Now every word rolling out of Presley's mouth just gets more and more relatable but when he says "take my hand, take my whole life too." I think of your hands in mine and my head on your shoulders, at that moment I am certain that those wise men are wrong because they don't know what it's like to be falling in love with you.
