Well today I fell, not in love, but in the conservatory in college. I didn't even trip. My feet just went from under me and I fell almost silently so you wouldn't have even known I was gone were it not for the small girl laying spread-eagled, sprawled face down on the cold hard floor.
There was a look, a laugh from behind, numerous "are you okay"s and the odd concerned glance. Nobody picked me up, but I figure that sometimes you just fall for no reason and you have to pick yourself up because its nobody else's duty to. If you're lying there on the slightly moist floor it is no good waiting for somebody else to come and lift you to your feet.
So I got up, laughed and tried to make my way back to my friends with a smidgen of dignity, despite my knee being on fire and feeling sharp tears in my eyes.
