Fallen
Th-thump
It was unexpected, and sent a jolt to my heart.
Thump, th-thump. Thump. Thump, th-thump.
I was surprised to realize I had fallen. My brain had processed the fall moments after it took place, my conscious mind being told of the gravity that had taken it’s hold on my emotions, bringing them down and upward, my heart quickening.
Was I hurt? I checked myself all over, finding not a scratch. No, I wasn’t hurt. But I had fallen, hadn’t I? Fallen in love with him. I should have bruises. I should have scratches from when my heart decided to tell my brain, “That’s him. Go for him.” The only evidence was my bones, limp and fluid as jello in my legs.
I feel as light as a feather. Should I be feeling this way, this light as air feeling? Whenever I look at him all I see is him and nothing else. He glows. When did he start glowing like that? And when did his smile start lighting up the room?
It was then that I realized…he caught me when I fell.
Thump, th-thump. Thump. Thump, th-thump.
