I Fell in Love

I didn't stumble into love.

I fell into it.

And bruised myself.

And broke many bones.

Not just my own.

I hit the ground so hard, in love.

I hit it with force I can't explain.

Love hit me with it all it had.

And broke everything around me.

The way down was brutal

No way to catch my breath

Reaching the pavement with dizzying speed.

I was no longer recognizable by the time I had fallen.

It's funny we don't climb in love.

It's funny we don't shoot for love.

It's funny we don't meet love.

It's not funny that we fall in love.

There was nobody down there.

There was nothing I tripped on.

There was nothing that shoved me down.

I just fell in love.

I fell in love with Gal.

I fell in love with life.

I fell in love with love.

I fell in love with all.

And despite the fall,

I fell in love with me.
