And we take a breath, together

They call it falling in love for a reason

The risk

The uncertainty

The fear

 

Falling in love makes you lose control

So dependent on someone else

That you forget how to breathe

When they’re not around

 

Love makes you vulnerable

As you hand your heart to another

Praying that they don’t drop it

Yet it never comes back whole

 

We try to regain control

To build a parachute

Keep our hearts guarded till we’re sure

But that’s not how it works

 

I let go of everything

Accepting the cool hit of the pavement

When you catch me in your arms
