Love Lost

There's a reason why people call it "falling in love". When you fall for someone, it isn't like a silly trust fall into the person's arms. No. When you fall for someone, it's like skydiving without a parachute. It's all light and fun until you hit the ground. The fall is exhilarating to us, but the thing is, the only way we can recover from the landing without any hurt is if someone catches us. However that's the reason love hurts so much when it's lost. While you're in the arms of your lover, you're still falling. They're just keeping you from hitting the ground. Though when their love for you is gone, they lose their hold on you and you lose your net. You keep falling, until your heart shatters upon the pavement.
