Blindfolded

Taking a step forward is something most people fear of.
It's like jumping off a cliff with your eyes closed but with your heart wide open,
you'll never know what lies ahead..until you get there.

I was once standing on a cliff.
Seeing the great distance from up high, I got frightened
Scared of getting bruised.
Scared of the damage that it can forever engrave in my life.

People must be foolish for jumping off that cliff, I thought.
Don't they know that they could be making the greatest mistake of their lives?
Actually, they do.
They just choose to close their eyes on that truth because for them, it's better to feel the pain and agony than forever wonder what could've happened.

So here I am, wondering.
Just a few distance from the cliff, all I truly need is a little push from behind.
But sometimes, it's not really the push we need.
It's the assurance that someone out there is willing to catch our fall.

Did I found mine?  I'd like to think so.
I saw him and suddenly I got the adrenaline that I didn't know I'd been seeking.
It's funny how a person can make you see what you've been overlooking.
Your mind is blinded by terrifying possibilities that could happen..
that you forget how great it is to feel the wind blowing through your hair while diving.

But that's not really what's exciting -- it's what awaits you down there.
And so my heart has been blocked for a while and my eyes shut.
I opened it and there he was -- waiting.
I'm taking off the blindfold now.
And with an unlocked heart, yes, I'm ready to fall.
