collapsing

why do we call it falling in love?

falling implies collapsing

and collapsing implies breaking.

it's like saying people fall before they fall in love.

the word "falling" attaches weakness to the word love.

but then again it could be good.

one thing about love for certain is it makes people weak. and there's the irony

people see love as something grand. something we need. and we all forget that's to be in love, we have to collapse, not just into it, but sometimes out of it.

falling out of something means landing someplace else, and sooner than later we find ourselves crash-landing into uncertainty.
