Falling In Love
Falling In Love
I think I might have accidently figured out
Just what falling in love, could possibly be about
With many types of love, experienced in my time
Loved ones surround me, with all different kinds
But when one really does happen to make the fall
They never seen it coming, that’s the first thing of all
That’s why they must say, that love is actually blind
Because you don’t see it when it enters your mind
The fall seems to take you just completely by surprise
Bringing a precious moment that you’ll forever visualize
No one is ever really sure of the consequences it brings
Most tend to step back a bit just to think about everything
There are some of those who never quite fall all the way in
They keep holding on tightly to the ledge of a comfortable rim
Then once you feel both feet
Starting to touch the ground
You actually let go and end up
Falling the rest of the way down
When you finally make the fall, you may not even be aware
You’re in another state of mind when you’re actually there
You’ll start to carry a joyful step, as happiness fills your heart
It may begin to over flow and you’ll know not where to start
No one can remove those feelings you have deep inside
And you’ll hold your head up high with a sense of pride
When you realize you fell, you won’t want to get out
And I’m sure that’s what falling in love is all about
