#66 Why they call it falling
Alec has never understood why people call this sentiment falling in love, when in reality he doesn't feel like he's falling at all. On the contrary, if he'd be falling, then he would be falling upwards, and now that is not like falling at all. It's rather like floating, flying, feeling high and elated, which has nothing to do with the bad connotations associated with the word falling, because being in love is wonderful and falling isn't; the concept of falling suggests that you get hurt.
And then he realises that maybe this is the very same reason why people call it falling.
Because love makes you vulnerable, and you will be hurt.
Because falling suggests that it is something you cannot control, and no one knows better than Alec that you cannot control who you fall in love with.
And the higher you fly, the deeper you fall.
A/N.: Review still equal love ;)
