Fall in Love with someone.
Fall in love, tomorrow if not today.
Fall in love, for the dark;
Or for the light of day.
  
Fall in love for restful sleep,
Fall in love to lie awake.
Fall in love to learn to give;
Or maybe just to take.
  
Fall in love, so you can feel,
Fall in love to numb the pain.
Fall in love to be better;
Or just to be vain.
  
Fall in love, to make mistakes,
Fall in love to right your wrong.
Fall in love in defiance;
Or maybe just to belong.
  
Fall in love, for the body,
Fall in love for the heart.
Fall in love to stay forever;
Or even just to part.
  
Fall in love with beauty,
Fall in love with flaws.
Fall in love for a reason;
Or even just because.
  
Fall in love for real,
Fall in love to fake.
Fall in love with the lies
Of a ruthless, heartless rake.
  
Fall in love for the fear,
Fall in love for the joy.
Fall in love for liberation;
Or even as a ploy.
  
Fall in love, just one time,
Or two, or six, or eight.
Fall in love at first sight;
Or maybe after a long wait.
  
But fall in love, you must,
For there is nothing quite the same.
If only to write about it;
For your five minutes of fame.
