when

When I fall in love
It’s easy and quick
Painless
Takes no effort at all

Until I find I have to leave
Then I can but grow out
Falling out of love won’t do
Doesn’t happen
It may take a year
Or more
But one day it’s gone

It’s like falling into a hole
And then having to climb out slowly
The long way round
And when I get back
It isn’t the same place
Looks familiar
But it’s not the same

Each time is different
And so much the same
Love to love
Hate to lose
And have to start over
Again and again
