Love

Perched on the tip of my tongue  as if standing at the edge of a cliff staring down at the steely waters below. These words aching to take the plunge but too afraid of whats yet to come Will I cast my heart upon the jagged rocks below only to shatter my bones? or will I dive into waters dark and deep Wholesome, warm, and safe? Every time i see you My heart threatens to leap out of my chest and off that cliff. But fear is holding back my tongue. Because of him, I cannot jump without reservation. And for that, I resent him. You turn my heart into an ocean  wave after wave crashing down upon my chest  as I feel your breath  upon my skin. floating softly through your sea  you are all I could want or need But do you feel the same as me?
