I had always been afraid to fly
I looked up to the sky, wondering "what if?"
That's when I saw you
Always flying, afraid of falling.
You looked down at me, I looked up at you,
Each so fixated with the other,
We forgot that we were also gazing at our greatest fears.
I asked you to come down and be with me,
But you refused, for fear of falling down to the unforgiving ground.
You asked me to fly up and be with you,
But I couldn't bring myself to soar towards the terrifying skies.
So, there we stayed,
Me staring up at you, you staring down at me,
Longing, and forever wondering,
"what if?"
