Love Poem: Fall

Fall

For as long as I can remember
I've never looked ahead,

I've always walked with my head down
so I could place every step,

I've often been too cautious
to keep up in the race,

and though I fell behind
I've never fallen out of place,

I've never held on to anything when I sensed any doubt
and I've never let go of anything I couldn't live without,

I've never shown a smile I thought could be turned to a frown
and I've never stood up when I could've been knocked down,

I've never given up my heart without the exchange of another
and I'll never love care-free without the same from the other,

Because I've always been too afraid to fall for all I had to lose
I've always been too afraid to fall, except in love with you
