Falling in Love

by Shawna Christine Shelton

Why do you think it's called "falling"?

I'm no longer falling

I already fell

I let my guard down

And was swept off my feet

I didn't feel like I was falling

It felt more like floating...

... Until I hit the ground

Why do you think it's called "falling"?

I've already fallen

And hit my head on the curb

Now I'm left unprotected

Lying here in the road

All that's left now is waiting

Waiting...

... Waiting for the first car to come speeding toward me

Why do you think it's called "falling"?
