I've always kept this parachute.
This protective layer surrounding me.
Catching me as I fall, and keeping me safe from harm.
But now there's you-
Every minute we spend together pokes a hole in my parachute.
Each hole representing such a happy memory.
A poke for every laugh
For every soft word whispered
For every time I watched your eyes crinkle with that cute smile of yours.
So many holes- my parachute is starting to fail me.
I'm going defenseless.
You're destroying that protective layer.
I'm going into a free fall-
It's the most thrilling ride of all
And I could not be happier.

I'm going defenseless.
You're destroying that protective layer.
I'm going into a free fall-
It's the most thrilling ride of all
And I could not be happier.
