I stumbled in love
with you, she said
because I’ve always
had this great fear
of falling. It must
come from my childhood,
though I can’t recall
any specific incident,
just the deep bruises
my parents left
when they fell,
without warning
out of the love
I thought had
to last forever.

Congratulations on this beautifully crafted reflection on love. I’ve read it several times, because it merited rereading. (Would you mind if I were to suggest a comma after ‘without warning’?)
