people wonder how
a woman who loves skydiving
could distrust gravity
the way i do

but the difference
between falling from 12,000 feet
and falling in love
is simple

one comes with a ripcord
one comes with rock bottom
i once heard someone say
that human beings
aren’t afraid of heights—
they’re afraid of falling

i didn’t realize how true
that was
until i met you
