People can't be afraid of heights
-they're afraid of falling
Or maybe it's the fear of hitting the ground
Love is this way too

No one is afraid of the height
The soft touch of fingers melding
Or the lingering moments after the kiss
Nor do people fear the falling

Not a soul would wish away those falling moments
Of the first time your sentence was also hers
Like the moments just a glance can change fate
Falling so deep into the little glances at something greater

With love we don't fear the falling or the heights
We fear the stiff reality at the bottom
Those fearful of love know the pain of hitting the ground

The pain of the fight that lasted three days
Or when words were not loud enough so the doors broke the silence
But mainly the pain of the frostbite setting in
From the spot where they no longer reside
