falling in love
people can fall
fall
in love so easily
but never have I seen it last.
last forever,
like we always promised
before we broke
and fell onto the ground
instead of falling for eachother another night
but maybe
falling in love with someone
is like falling in love with a foreign city
first
the first time
you see all the nice places
so beautiful
strange
and foreign
that so many people travel maybe a thousand of kilometers
just to admire their beauty
you admire the way the sun shines onto every building
and maybe you even find interest in the darker, not so attractive places.
you can't get enough
second
you come again
year for year
still breathtaken
year for year
it feels like your escape zone
comfortable
becoming familiar
but still you find new things to admire
and third
you may decide to settle
settle in this city
that first was, so foreign to your own
exciting - oh the places that you can go
all the adventures
beautiful in every inch
but you settled
and first you think you made a decision
the greatest of your lifetime
because you fell in love
when you saw how the sun sets, throwing shades and shadows of astonishing buildings into the river
but you eventually
get used to it
get used to all the tourist attractions
and all the darker places start to annoy you
first
you get used to the beauty
second
you can't even recognize the things that made you fall in love
third
you fall out
fall out of love
when everything becomes a routine.
maybe that's why
I've never seen love last.
