Jump

The water feels cool as it laps at our toes The air almost damp, full of unspoken ghosts Resisting the urge to brush off the sand that's peppered your cheek, I sit on my hands I begged you to jump, seems you never heard Or maybe you did, just forgotten the words How can you sleep while you fight what you want But as you turn to me, you know where you belong Convinced that you're going to leave as you stand Until you reach out, pull me up by my hand At the edge of the water, you ask what do I see But the reflection still looks the same to me I focus on the shallow waves, crashing on my toes The break upon the sand whispers 'Never let me go' I raise my eyes to find it's you speaking the words I'd begged for you to jump, it seems that you have heard Then you say if we go, we go now, together I can't let this be, I can't let this wither Are you ready to jump? To give up the fight? Our hands, they tremble, yet still they unite
