january 2008

fragile i sit here on this ledge, waiting
ready to jump with you
ready to free fall into the unknown
but i also have to be ready to get down
and walk away if you decide this isn't what you want

on this ledge i stripped myself in front of you
i took it all off
i opened myself to you
and you came in, but only for a moment
then you said to wait

wait here for you
but i am naked, and cold, and unsure
because i didn't see that look in your eyes
i'm afraid i am jumping alone
i am afraid you are never coming back
how to calm my curious heart

i see us together
i see you taking me like a whirlwind in your arms
and spinning with me, but i have to wait
lock my heart up momentarily
and stand naked for you,
waiting...
