Fell and Broke

And so I fell.
	And fell.
		And fell.
                      And fell 
for a thousand of times.

And then I broke.
A n d   b r o k e.
A  n  d     b  r  o  k  e.
A   n   d       b   r   o   k   e
as many times as I fell.

I don’t know what will happen if I fall again.
I don’t exactly heal every time I fall and break,
I just suffer excruciating continuous breaking.

I don’t know what will happen if I fall again.
I am honestly near to being powdered.
So maybe, if I fall the next time, I’ll be crushed into granules, 
or maybe particles.
Who knows how hard I am gonna fall
and how broken I’ll get?

But, if the next time will be the last time I get to fall
before I am pulverized into nothing,
I’ll still choose to fall for you.
Even if I know how this will affect me.

I’ll still choose to fall for you,
Even though it was you to whom I fell a thousand of times.
Even though you were the reason I am this broken.
Because, all along, I believe, you are worth it.

So, even if this is the last chance I’ll get,
I’ll still choose to fall and break for you.

Cause, 
that’s how I love you.
