To stand toward the front of a diving board and hang the toes of both feet over the edge.

Whatever you do—

They say that falling—

Feels like flying.

 

They also say that flying—

Feels like falling.

 

Strange.

They are completely different things.

 

Yet—

As I am falling,

Why do I feel as if I am flying?

 

My heart, it soars—

Though my being—it falls,

And I fall—

Fall with such a smile,

As if I had flown a mile.

So this is what falling in love feels like—

Falling.

But flying

At the same time.

“Think it’s a little cloudy.”

“But you say that everyday…”

“It’s the truth.”
