well, honey,
if you fall,
you'll get hurt.
- mom said when i was seven, playing in the garden.
see?
you got hurt.
- i told myself whilst tears rolled down my cheek, like a flowing river.
i was falling in love,
and i forgot what mom once said
so when i remembered again,
my knees were already bleeding
and it was already all too late.
i'm not the only one...
