driving into work last week i listened to ingrid michaelson singing "the way i am" http://aimini.net/view/?fid=fRuSSL77xG7Tv8I2b6E3 (love that song). in it, she like so many other poets, songwriters, declarers of love, etc sings about catching a falling lover.
in the midst of all my routine morning thoughts i found myself thinking about the concept of love and one person falling while the other catches them. while nice in theory, i think for me, when it comes to love i like the idea of instead having the other person fall right with me. no catcher, just us. two hopeful, excited, ring around the rosies, caught up in the moment, people falling. maybe never to be caught. maybe to enjoy the feeling of falling, falling, falling for as long as the drop may last.
haiku
i want you with me
not standing at the bottom
but here. fall-falling.
