I fell for someone's eyes to gaze into
Not for your eyes

I fell for a face to look at
Not for yours

I fell for the kind words
Not the mouth that made them

I fell for the perfume of the flowers
Not for your scent

I fell for the gifts and presents
Not the bringer of such things

I fell for the tender kisses
Not the lips that actioned them

I fell for the nights spent getting high
Not for the company I kept them with

I fell for the romantic dinners
Not the hands that prepared them

I fell for the midnight lust
Not the way you made love to me

I fell for 'I love you'
Not for the way you said it

I fell for the absence of 'someone'

I fell for a hand, lips and body of a guy

I fell for the missing link

But it was, and never will be.

I didn't fall for you

It wasn't you

I fell into nothing.

That nothing - was you.
