love, love, love (love, love)

I always thought it was funny that you not only fall in love, but also out of love.
at first I thought "well if you can fall out of love with someone wouldn't you have had to climb into love with them"
but climbing implies that you are going up, and love can only bring you down.
sure, there are those fleeting moments of happiness but in the end your lover only dies, or moves on, I'm not sure which is worse.
It's like jumping off a tall building, for the time you're in the air it probably feels like flying, but you still have to hit pavement eventually.
but falling out of love is no better, its not like once its over you climb back into normal life and move on,
falling out of love is watching from heaven as they clean the blood off the sidewalk, the whole time thinking "why the fuck did I jump?"
so ultimately in life we have two choices, to jump or not to, obviously nobody wants to end up as overtime for immigrant janitors, but if you never jump, you don't get that fleeting experience of flying.
we should just stop building skyscrapers.
