What Other Shoe?

You are asleep now in my room
And I sit here thinking how blessed I am.
You are the mountains, rivers, trees, and wind
You are what I've longed for, deep within.

And your faults are not visible to me, for now
I know one day they will be, life
is not this easy.  That easy.  
But I'm not ready to let go of this dream, just yet.

Call me a fool. Go ahead.  
I probably am one.
But I choose to live in the absence of fear.
A conscious choice, a foolish choice (sure).

But life is short
And there's plenty of time for fetal
For all those primal screams in the shower
At the end of this.  Right?  

I'm keepin' this glow for now, thanks.
My smile is enjoying itself today.
And tomorrow? You wait for the other shoe to drop
Me, I'm just gonna go to sleep there in my room, next to you.

And next to my closet, where all the shoes lay next to one another.    
Hmmm.
