I stood over the cliff
and gazed at the depths below me
My heart skipped a few beats
And my palms were sweaty
I was afraid of the fall
but I knew I would jump
right into your arms and
everything would be okay
It would be the tranquil love
I'd been looking for all along
The fall is the hardest part
because of the uncertainty
Time has shown me both joy and sorrow
My experiences eroded me
into who I am
and sometimes that terrifies me
I know now that I can fall
I know now that I can show my scars
And my heart
black and blue from bruises and heartbreak
sings songs of escalating joy
I can move past my pain
and glare into your eyes
and let everything melt away
When I'm wrapped in your arms
it feels like the world stops spinning
Every preconceived notion of love
I had before went out the window
I guess I was afraid I would never find
Someone who knew what it was like
to hide behind a smile and
pretend that everything was always fine
Then you came along and
I jumped off the cliff
