Why is it called : " Falling in love " ?

Hey world,

today is the aniversary of my cousin and her boyfriend. Wanna know how long they've been together? Exactly seven years . Even though he moved to australia last year or so , they still hold onto each other. Ain't that a beautiful love-story? So , just sending out my congratulations to those two. You are my inspiration for the following words.
You know , love is something that don't need reasons and excuses. We love because we love. Not because he/she is kind , funny , good-looking , sweet, romantic or something else. Because there are people out there who share the same characteristics or are even better.
You can't reason why you love someone. It is just as it is. Love needs a lot of luck. First you need luck to find the one you can fall in love with. Second is to find the perfect moment to fall in love. Many of them just pass by without you even realising it and then you end up being friends. But why is it called falling in love?
If you are in love , doesn't it feel more like flying? We all know, humans can't fly ( besides when they're on a plane ) but the moment we fall, the moment before we hit the ground , doesn't it pretty much feel like flying?
And now , here is the third reason why you need luck. Because the other part has to catch you . If you're unlucky and he doesn't response to your feelings then you hit the ground really hard.
But if he catches you , you never hit the ground and know how it feels to fly. I think my cousin found this person , who will always catch her and give her the feeling of flying. Hopefully , one day , I'll find the person who is worth catching and... hopefully , at that time, I'll have the courage to jump. Let's see if she will catch me.
