The usage of the term "fall" implies many things: that the process may have been in some way inevitable or uncontrollable, risky or putting the lover in a state of vulnerability, that the process is irreversible, or all of these things.
good old copy and paste...... im at work or i would have taken time to type.....
"the process is irreversible," we all know thats not the case, more seldom than not its the opposite
"the process may have been in some way inevitable or uncontrollable, " sounds like we have to do nothing to attain this love thing that i doubt its work, (pleasurable granted)
It probably came from olden times.......someone probably ran to tell their parents that they were in love and tripped and fell over a cliff, got splattered and died!
People then said they fell while in love which got shortened to fell or fall in love!!
Truly, no matter how old you are....(and this is from my recent experience) when love hits....it is an over-powering feeling of helplessness....really. It's like you've given yourself totally and there is nothing you can do to take it back. It really is a process of letting go....
Love does not discriminate......it, when it comes, makes us all let go....no matter if you're 16 or 100 years old....it is so powerful that the mind can not comprehend it....we can not define it to what it feels like or how it really makes us feel. Men/women have died for it and killed for it....
To love at this magnitude, simple words are pale to what it really is.....The best way I have found to describe the feeling he gives to me and how he makes me feel is this:
From the moment I met him face to face.....he felt like home to me.
It may have been due to the act of swooning. A young woman would see a handsome man or one would say hello. Then the young lady would swoon.(faint and fall into the arms of someone.)
