I was leaning over the railings Of your condominium's 11th floor fire exit. It was a beautiful night, just a clear sky Filled with stars. I was smoking then while You were just standing right behind me, I leaned a little bit more. You told me to stand back "Aren't you scared?" I told you that i have conquered My fear of heights Long before we spoke again After weeks of complete silence. I wasn't lying. I wasn't afraid of falling— dying anymore. But that morning, Your hands around my waist, Lips on the nape of my neck Just breathing, I drowned. My throat closed up, My lungs filled with your scent, My heart got heavier. Your touch wasn't supposed to make me Feel every inch i loved about you. I was falling again, Dying for your love; I thought i have conquered my fear. "Aren't you scared?" Terrified.
