How can you, love? I found you by chance, bumped into you by a curious lack of attention. No idea what you would become to me. Not realizing that his eyes would be the deepest lake I would jump into without a second thought.

Or even once.

Not knowing how to swim.

How can? I, through a neglect of life, found in you everything I swore I had found before and lost. I thought it was my fault, loving someone and letting them go.

But I didn’t even love it. I played love without even knowing the impact it would have on me when it finally hit me.

You were the impact.

I dove headfirst into you. It was quite a thermal shock when my hot body came into contact with the icy water.

But I don’t care, because despite having chattered my teeth from the cold for half an hour, you made me shiver many more times afterwards with reasons that are beautiful to see.

I love you and this time, it’s not a lie. It’s not a distraction.

Love had never taken me so high.

How can you, love? I’m not even afraid of the fall.
