Under A Microscope - The Idea

We don't fall in love,
we fall into the idea of it.
the idea that anything is possible,
the idea that we can need and be needed,
the idea that pain is pleasure,
the idea that love is truly unconditional,
the idea that someone can completely get and understand us,
the idea that love is never having to say we're sorry,
the idea that there is a happily ever after,
the idea that forever means forever,
the idea that we can actually be everything to someone,
and them be everything to us.
We fall into the idea of love,
and run from the reality of it.
