Don't Fear the Fall

“The crash isn’t worth the fall”,

He whispered to me, as he stood tall.

I looked deep into his eyes,

And to my shock and surprise,

I saw no feeling at all.



This could have been the end, you see,

But not for silly, stubborn me.

He looked away with a glimpse of fear,

and suddenly it was all so clear,

this boy had yet to set his heart free.



I held his hands very gently, and said,

“Silly boy, I’ll be with you until I am dead!”

I let out a laugh and shot him a smile,

He laughed, “Maybe this fall is worthwhile…”

We gazed at each other, awaiting the fall ahead.
