Unknowingly Falling
He was meant to be a summer fling
Nothing more than a toy to be forgotten
When he met me,
He wanted all of me
I wanted none of him
Just sex
Nowhere near love

Yet here I am
Finally realizing that I've been lying to myself
How could I not know?
That smile
That laugh
That aura of kindness
I unknowingly fell in love

The moment I realized
He was talking to his ex
I've never been in love
Never experienced jealousy
Damn did I feel jealous then

He frustrates me
Angers me
Makes me too adventurous
It's so risky being with him
I never want it to change

He challenges me
He's made me believe
People like me could fall in love
He knew right away
He was falling
As if it was nothing
He just...
Fell
No questions
No worries
He happily fell

I'm not sure of myself
I heard of love
I scoffed
I didn't know
Now that I do
I hate it
Love makes you weak
Love makes you
Smile
See things brighter
Gives you hope
I hate it

The moment he's gone
I'll never smile
Everything will go dim
I'll be hopeless
I can't fall in love
Falling means
Eventually landing

But for some strange reason,
He makes me stronger
I unknowingly fell in love with my soulmate
I hope I never stop falling
I hope I never hit the ground
