Falling for Love

It hurts.
I know it does.
I've been there too.

That moment when
You've woken up at the bottom.
Not knowing why you fell in the first place,
Again.

You fell,
And you don't know why
You ever took the first leap.

But I can promise you this,
It's okay, because sometimes,
We feel pain.

It hurts. And this pain lets us know
We were once brave enough,
to take the leap in the first place.

It is a wound,
But it will heal,
Just like all the others.

One day you will
look at this scar,
And say, "I lived."

In the future,
you will fall,
and be caught.

But not this time.
No, this time it hurt.
Heal, then forgive, then

Dare to love again.
