The stair creaked as she stepped on it, jolting her back,
back into the reality of the dust filled crypt. Stopping at the top of the stairs, she peered into the little boys
room, dust covered the toys, like moss on the rocks of an ocean bay, hundreds of action figures in piles heaped
like discarded abandoned trash. She backed out of the room slowly, turned and stepped in the woman and Catch's
old room. She tried to consume the sights to learn more about the man she was falling deeply in love with. Clothes
were still laying on the unmade bed, a lifeless bathrobe entombed In dust, lay half on and half off the bed. The
silhouettes of pictures on the wall, caught her eye, she wiped the years of dust away and stared into their lives,
she could tell by their faces, that they were in love and happy.
She felt like a grave robber stealing memories.
The nights after they had gone to dinner and the blues club were restless ones for her, not knowing who the man
she was falling in love with was "unbearable". Finely she could not take it anymore. Dressing in the
middle of the night, she had driven to the police station where she worked and pulled up the accident report on
the computer. Catch's drivers license read Steven Lambert, 27 years old, residing at 13 Midland Ave, Yonkers New
York. Now at 3am in the morning she was touring this crypt searching for the door to Catch's mind.
Fumbling with the keys, she started the car engine. "vroom" it sprang to life. It was good to hear and
feel life again. Crying as she drove, Jordonna headed to the woman's mothers house to find more answers to her
questions. As the river she was crying slowed to a trickle, she parked. It was a quiet neighborhood, the little
green house at the end of the street seemed peaceful enough, as she walked to the door she noticed that the small
yard was meticulously maintained, unlike the dusty crypt she had just left. Knocking once, she turned to look at
the flowers by the front door, they seemed so full of life. As the door opened, she turned and said "hello,
my name is Jordonna."
"I know who you are, the old woman said. Please come in, Catch has spoken of you many times, I'm glad he has
fallen In love again." As a surprised look came over Jordonna's face, the woman spoke more. "Catch is
starting to regain the memories, but you can't rush him, he'll come around in his own time."
She told the woman how she had just come from the dusty crypt that once was Catch and his family's home. Now the
old woman seemed surprised.
"I just wanted to know more about him. It's like he's two different people."
"Honey, Catch lost his son and wife, my daughter, in that accident, but he is getting better, he has his apartment,
and he has fallen in love again with you. About every two weeks he stops by and I give him a little money from
the settlement."
"But who is he?. I was at the scene that day and held his hand until the ambulance arrived."
Again the old woman looked "surprised".
"I checked the department of motor vehicle records, and know his real name is Steven Lambert."
She told the old woman about the incident at the club and the old woman smiled a bit.
"Steve Lambert was a professional musician, he had just recorded his first album "Racing with the moon"
and was to go on his first American tour after his son's 7th birthday, "the day of the accident". Steve's
injury caused him to have temporary amnesia, he is coming around slowly, but you can't rush him."
"She told the woman how he had driven Catch to the cemetery the week before, but he could not deal with it."
"How could you have done that to him!, It's been two years and I still have trouble going there. I still can't
deal with it. Please don't rush it, you are in love with him and he is in love with you. he'll come around in his
own time. He is not crazy you know."
I'm crazy, crazy about the way you love me,
Baby, I shiver every time we touch
But sometimes I worry when you're not around,
I'm thinking is this love or something else we've found?
Chorus
But I keep on falling
Keep on falling in love and falling back again
I keep on falling
Keep on falling in love.
She's crazy, so wild and free
It's not easy loving a man like me
All the miles between us and all the time alone Seem to fade away when
we are alone
When you hold me and keep me up all night
You make it easy
To forget about the trouble that we see
Should anyone love someone this much
That this madness is magic to me
It's crazy, it feels like it will never end
And it's stronger, stronger, than it's ever been
As the years go by it will lift us higher
And there's no way, to ever, ever put out the fire.
Chorus
But I keep on falling
Keep on falling in love and falling back again
I keep on falling
Keep on falling in love
