Falling

I stand at the edge
The cold wind blows against my face
I spread my arms open wide
And look down from my launching place

My heart is pounding
My pulse beats a rhythm in my ears
Can I take this leap of faith
In spite of all my fears?

How long has it been
Since I’ve let myself fall so freely?
What will happen
If it doesn’t work out as I hope it to be?

I’m letting go
I’m lifting off
I’m falling in love
Will you catch me?
