Falling
It's extraordinary
How hard I fell for him
It's funny
That a week ago I was writing about falling in love
And now i'm writing about trying to pick myself up.
You see, I didn't fall like a pebble, I rather fell like a leaf.
Slowly reaching the point where I wasn't falling anymore. Just in. In love.
My leaf had dwindled into a puddle, and it had no way of getting out.
Now you walk without me and I keep stumbling over my feet.
Now i'm not falling in love, i'm only falling apart.
I havent learned how to get over you yet.
It was stupid to think i'd never have to.
I feel my hand on top of my other and remember how yours felt.
So now i'm tying my shoelaces and standing up.
I'm bucking my heels
So I can dance with myself.
And i'm learning to forget you, because you never learned my language.
