Liberate Me

Falling in love is all about the risk,
it's letting yourself go
and hoping someone will catch you.
I've learned there's no easy way down,
it's whole-hearted or not at all.
If you jump, you're liable to get hurt,
but if you don't, you'll always be wondering,
was that the one you'd been preparing for?
All I know is that I've never been more afraid
than I am today, toeing the edge, it's too far.
There are no safety nets or parachutes,
it's fall and die or leap and fly.
I only need to know if it's worth it.
I think you're worth it.
Close my eyes and feel the ground disappear,
the air rushing in but I can't breathe,
my heart's swimming in the pit of my stomach;
it's dreadfully exhilarating,
and I think I like it.
