falling in love
is a lot like dying slow
you won't realize it until you're ten feet underground
falling in love
is like going to see the sunset
but realizing the sunset lasts only 30 minutes in a day
falling in love
is like going up to the ice cream truck
after chasing it for blocks
and realizing they don't have your favorite flavor
falling in love
is like showing her off
to all your friends like you're back in school
and today's event is show-and-tell
falling in love
is like taking your first puff,
coughing it out
and revisiting it years later
like it never once left your body
falling in love
is seeing role models turn into humans,
and humans into role models.
falling in love
is like witnessing your first car crash
i guess it wasn't as exciting as it felt on tv.
falling in love
is going to your childhood park,
and realizing people never really go to parks anymore.
falling in love is remembering that kid who moved in grade three
who said they'd stay in touch,
but never heard from again.
falling in love is seeing that kid 10 years later
and dreaming of the next 10 years together
falling in love
is seeing them as a reflection of yourself
sprawled over the bed,
and wondering to yourself **** what more could i ask?"
falling in love
is screaming PLEASE I WANT THIS TO LAST
LOVE
is seeing them hunched on a hospital bed,
hearing them say
"what life have we led?"
falling in love
is visiting their grave,
hearts broken and sore,
realizing
i don't want to fall in love
anymore
