we fall for someone
who promises us the moon and the stars
even though we have galaxies of our own
but the promise of a relationship
is a distraction, if not a hindrance
when the person you love is not truthful
and we tend to believe that forever exists
even though it only lasts for a second
all of their little quirks
become your most favorite things
and the sum of their parts
is a masterpiece created by the gods
the feeling of butterflies
overwhelms the moths in your stomach
and the redness of your cheeks
give away all your secrets
the walls start to crumble
and you finally let someone in
your heart betrays your brain
when it quickens at the mention of his name
sending you too much blood in excitement
you suddenly feel faint
and there's drumming in your ears
that, my dear is what
falling in love feels like
