Jump

All my life I've felt like I was on the edge of a cliff
Always too scared to look down.
I never tried to reach out,
I never let myself look past the ground.

You came a long and suddenly that cliff drew a little closer
I was scared but with you I didn't care what was going to happen.
I edged a little closer and took a peek
It was too much to handle for me.

You jumped off the cliff and I watched you soar
You were more beautiful
Than anything I'd seen before.

I watched you fly
I watched you go beyond the clouds.
You were your own star.
I saw the light shine off of you
For exactly what you are.

I look away and I'm still here, on that cliff
Too scared to jump, like I always am.
After long enough I took a chance.
Finally.

I jumped off that cliff
And it was like bungee jumping.
I thought I was going to hit the ground
Until that cord brought me back up to you.

I took another fall and suddenly
You cut my cord loose,
I fell through.
I fell down and down
Down to the ground.

A lot of sharp rocks were there.
You let me fall.
My body hit the cold ground.
Hard.
Never had I felt so much pain.
Now I'm thinking
Was it worth that risk?
