Falling Away With You-

The precipice waits for our ascension. It has a cruel face; rocky and hard, sharp and daunting. I cannot remember why you decided to start the climb. There are plenty of obstacles That will present themselves Often. I will reluctantly follow Because I can’t imagine watching you go alone. I forgot to dress in protective gear, therefore, I am vulnerable to the elements and the expectations you must have of me. ~ I am frightened. ~ When I falter, your hand will reach out quickly to support me, save me, I know that. so I am not afraid of you, exactly. However, I am terrified of how you might change during our long journey to the top. I do not know what you plan to do once we are there; (wherever ‘there’ is) But it doesn’t matter. I just want to be with you, because even the possibility Of falling away with you Is better than being left behind.
