Grounded

Am I a Head-Over-Heels
Kind of guy?
Have I thought us through?
Will the other "shoe drop"
And will you no longer be
As desirable to me?
Will the pedestal
I've put you on
Become smaller as I learn
The rest of what made you
What you are today?
None of the choices
You've made in the past
Are mine to judge
I don't think
In terms of "what if?"
I think in terms
Of "what's next?"
The "pedestal" is not
A ledge for you to
Feel the need
To jump off of
But to remind me
That you deserve whatever
"Better" is
The woman you've become
Independent
Strong and focused
Honest and direct
Keeps me grounded
So that my feet
Are firmly planted
And my head
Just wants to be
On the pillow
Next to you
