Falling into you

Published by

on

A voice approached my heart

and whispered

„You hopelessly have fallen in love, my friend. “

Amazed, I returned.

„Love? What are you talking about?

What is love? “

„Love is, “ and it stopped as if smiling,

„Love is when you have lost yourself in someone else

and fall like a leaf.”

And then, it began to dawn on me

that an endless battle in life

had just begun.
