I Fell Off a Cliff

Sitting at the fringe of the beach,
I conceived myself standing on the edge of a cliff,
observing the beauty of nature above the seas.
I was so overwhelmed by it that I fell off the cliff.

The river below looked so thin...so slim...so death-filled,
But I fell...I fell...and I fell into it,
It was as deep as the sea,
I fell into it,
It was like honey melting into lemon tea,
I fell into it,
It made me feel new,
I fell into it,
I fell in love with you.
