How is it
That someone can make you fall for them
In the matter of days?
Minutes.
Seconds.
With a smile or a laugh?
With a soft touch that lingers on the skin like butterflies?

How is it
That you can feel so deeply?
Whole.
True.
With  a touch of the lips?
With promises that will be shattered like glass under your shoe?

How is it
That you can become broken so fast?
Quickly.
Painfully.
With the realization that he was never yours?
With lies that cut to the core like a knife through butter?

How is it
That we forget and move on so fast, just to do it again?
And again.
And again.
With the hope that it will change?
With the dreams of finding the one that might not break you into a million pieces the next time through?
