Cantilever

We were surrounded by no one
The lake's surface was muted
By the fact that we didn't move an inch
The mist condensed in the corners of your eyes
As you looked towards me, yet past me
If the options are to feel
The crisp bite of water for a second and become hooked
Or to not feel it at all and remain halting
Which one do we choose?

Now
I soft-fall

We sat down on a paddling board
You said your brother would be home by morning
An ephemeral indecision
And you took off your dress, and jumped
Why don't we sleep in that bathing house?
You said as you came out of the water
And as the first glance of the wavering sun sinuated on your skin
I was reminded that not a single line in you could ever need redrawing

I soft-fall
For love that ain't mine
I soft-fall
For love that ain't mine
I soft-fall
For love that ain't mine
I soft-fall
For love that ain't mine
