My affection for you wasnt graceful.
It wasnt tender and timid and patient and slowit was chaos.

I went from standing on steady ground to completely falling for you.
Thats what I did with you.
Nothing was measured or calculated, guarded or careful.
Nothing made sense or was thought through, or even the least bit smart for that matter.
I turned off the part of my brain that contained anything rational.
And then I reached for you.And thats all it took.

Maybe they call it falling because when you fall, you have no idea what could happen next.
Maybe they call it falling because its not floating lazily, passively.
Its not jumping, with the secure understanding that someones there to grab you.
Its not stepping forward, or any form of hesitancy.
Its a movement thats completely out of your control.
I always thought the idea of falling in love was silly.
It sounded unintentional, in the way that you didnt mean it, that you werent invested.
But I know now thats so far from the truth.
The feelings are what guide you, what set the pace.
When you fall, you cant stop yourselfin all the good ways, the right ways.
They call it falling because you simply, beautifully let go of all your inhibitions and fears and doubts.
You let yourself love and be loved.
Its not slow and patient.
Its not measured, emotion shared bit by bit, piece by piece.
Its all of you.
They call it falling because youre suddenly free.
Free to be found in the arms of another person; free to finally feel at home.
