At the Ledge

We leaped, we skipped, we ran.

Not knowing where we were going, 

but loving where we were.

I walked, I crawled, I stopped.

Now I am here at the ledge 

and I know I have to jump.

There's a beautiful horizon before me

But my face is buried in the ground

because I don't want to look up.

You said you'd be here too

and that I'd be in your arms

tucked inside close to you.

But I'm alone

and I'm terrified to jump

without you here beside me.

You see my eyes lost sight of you

but my heart never did.

So I'll be still and wait.

Until I can dare to step out on my own

Or until you come and take my hand and hold my heart.
