Why do we “Fall” in love?
If love is a positive,
And to fall is a negative,
Can someone tell me how it is?
You can fall down with something
That’s supposed to uplift you?
Going the wrong way with love
That’s the only issue.

I believe those who fell in love,
In love they failed,
And their relationship as a whole
Is dispelled as well.
So **** falling, I’d rather Fly in Love,
I’d rather rise to cloud nine in the skies above.
And even still,
I have to keep it real,
It’s hard to tell if what you’re feeling
Is really how you feel.
But instead of leaving our status at a standstill,
I’d rather take small steps so our status still stands.
And in due time we can move on with our flight plans.
I like you, but if I say I love you it wouldn’t be right,
So instead of being in love,
Lets settle for being in like.
When we’re ready take a ride in the skies with doves,
Will be the same time we rise above
And finally
Fly in Love.
