Love Isn't Falling


It was you

who made me realize I didn't need to tare myself apart

to keep someone together.

We didn't need to burn and leave each other scars.

I am not falling for someone not to catch me.

When you laugh and glance over at me and smile

all the fear I've ever had disappears.

It vanishes like I had never spent all those days feeling like my whole world would end.

Your smile.

Your smile is the one that in an instant makes me forget about all my troubles.
