I walk through my mind…lanes and by-lanes…places I remember, faces I recognize, names I recall…I know these people.
I sift through memories…some precious, and I put them away in neat little stacks, some I don’t keep at all.
I sort confusion, organize chaos…carefully arranging it all in the right order.
Then there’s you…suddenly. And I stop dead.
My quiet, organized world falls apart…like a house of cards.
Shattered…pieces of my soul, no, I can’t put it all back together.

You’re the exception to my rules…you’re my undoing.
When I get to you, I lose…I drown, sink without a trace.
The same me…calm, level-headed me…who always keeps track of time, pays the bills, shoulders responsibility…
I fall apart.
And I love it…every minute of it.
I know this isn’t right…but it just IS, and I can’t change that.

And now I’m losing control…you’re taking over…
Don’t let me fall.
