I saw the end.

I leaned over the edge I drew in a deep breath

and gazed into the mystery.

but when you took my hand,

my whole body went numb.

I went limp.

And we both fell from solid ground.

We were falling.

I felt so much excitement. 

What lies at the bottom?

My mind soared as my body descended.

I could feel the wind pulling back my hair like ropes.

But I didn't know the ropes were trying to save me.

I felt nauseas and I opened my eyes,

noticing that my all time high had gone down to an all time low.

And when I looked around,

you were nowhere in sight.

This whole time I had been falling,

you stood on the solid ground.

High above me.

And with tears in my eyes,

I saw the end.
