So He Didn't Have To

And I Felt A Sudden Whirl In My Head, Knowing This Leap Was Inevitable, That I Wasn't Just Standing On The Cliff, Toes Poking Over, But Already In Mid-air.

I Eased Back On My Elbows, Tilting My Head Back To Look Up At The Sky, Which Was Pinkish, Streaked With Red. This Was The Time We Knew Best, That Stretch Of Day Going From Dusk To Dark. It Seemed Like We Were Always Waiting For Nighttime Here. I Could Feel The Trampoline Easing Up And Down, Moved By Our Own Breathing, Bringing Us In Small Increments Up And Back From The Sky As The Colors Faded, Slowly, And The Stars Began To Show Themselves.

Sometimes It Seems Safer To Hold It All In, Where The Only Person Who Can Judge Is Yourself.

It's So, So Stupid What We Do To Ourselves Because We're Afraid. It's So Stupid.

So You Should Remember That, When You're Thinking About What Other People Can Deal With. Maybe It's Not So Bad.
