hey you,
yeah you,
come closer,
come here and let me stare into your eyes
i know it sounds weird,
but just stay with me for a moment
because as i gaze into your eyes
i begin to realize
just why it is that we fall in love.
we don't run in love, jump in love, swim in love, ******** in love
no we fall in love
ever wonder why that is
well I've been doing some thinking on the subject
and have come up with some hypothesis
maybe it's because like a fallen man
we are at the mercy of the person that stands above us
our aggressor, our defender, our enemy, our lover
whoever it is that caused our fall
and we pray that we don't get stomped all over
but if we do, we just hope that we don't break anything.
maybe the reason we fall is more about movement
love is dynamic, always moving,
stagnant love isn't love, its contentment,
and a falling person
well they're moving all the time.
because when you stop moving,
you aren't really falling anymore.
which brings me to yet another possibility
maybe the reason we use the verb fall to
describe the act of our coming into love
has something to do with the end result.
because when you are done falling the outcome is usually not very good
you feel pain, sorrow, melancholy, regret, even anger
just like when you are done loving
it's like they say,
it isn't the fall that kills you,
its the sudden stop at the end.
of course the reason we fall
could have something to do with just how it is we move into love
either face first, with eyes wide open
seeing all that could be
or falling backwards,
blindly and just hoping it works out OK.
well whatever the reason
as i stand here peering into your eyes
i think I'm falling for you right now
but please don't catch me,
because maybe the reason we say we're falling
is because falling the closest we ever really come to flying.
