falling in love
is feeling like there is no one
who could ever understand
who you are but them.
you cannot be moved
there is no where else to run.
you take their hand
and you're no longer numb.
falling in love
is like letting the wind
blow through your hair
and closing your eyes.
something you don't think of
you never even signed up.
all you can do is stare,
how could they ever lie.
falling in love
is being able to breathe
the same air between your lips
and not feeling scared.
you hold them so high above,
and thinking you won't fall beneath.
until everything starts to slip
so far and nothing can be repaired.
falling in love
is watching them walk away
while they hang your heart
by strings between their fingers.
and life starts to become a blur of
all the memories that start to play
wishing you could restart
and now the pain just lingers.
