Have you ever been in love? I have.
In fact, I fall in love every day.
I fall in love with strangers while watching them going about their day as their minds travel everywhere they currently are not.
I long to understand why they smile in a way that doesn’t reach their eyes and the memories they visit when it all feels too much.
I fall in love with the stars and how if you stare at one for too long it seems to disappear, only to show up again when you look away.
I fall in love with sunrises and how still the world feels, frozen for a moment in time right before the sun peeks over the horizon.
Falling in love is a funny thing.
I can tell strangers I love them and they’ll continue living their day. I can tell the stars I am in love and they will still shine. I can tell the sun it is loved by me and it will always rise the next day.
Yet I can never tell the person I love how I really feel because nothing would be the same.
