And Again

I fall in love so violently, so fast
One moment standing there
The next, spinning in all directions.

I don't fall out so easily.
(What makes me think it will be 
     different this time?)

In the silent darkness
Your fingers are learning my hand

The "falling in" was always a slower process for me...the "falling out"...not so much. Love the last line, Elizabeth.

Passionate and sensual, a second of what that loving feeling felt like--through the imagery. Hope you are well, Elizabeth!

It sounds to me like you fall in love with so much passion, why would you want to fall out easily?
