Accidents

on purpose

I like the way you walk clumsily beside me

Those slick stumbles in and out of my perforated life

Such risky reminders that we exist

like this

by accident

Except when I fall just a few steps behind

so you can fumble around to find me again

That's on purpose

love poems

    Strikingly different! However, I don't understand if you have been falling just so the person can pick you up, I guess I didn't understand it very well. However, beautifully written. Well done!!
