Over The Edge

“Over The Edge”

I thought I had a strong grip

Sure footing

I was able to see what lie ahead for me

And then I slipped

You did as well in that same instant

We, lost our grip

Yes

You and I blurred the lines of safety and protected hearts

We, tore down the walls that shielded us

Risking our friendship

We stepped into the fog of an unknown tomorrow

And we smiled

We laughed at our dare

And shivered from what scared us both

But we now do it within one another’s arms

And damn the thoughts of failure

Because if it does occur

If we do not struggle successfully into a future with one another

At least we have the happiness of now

We can enjoy the small moments we share

And know they are worth it
