It’s electrifying

And invigorating

And terrifying.

It starts with nights spent staring at the stars

And sharing parts of ourselves we thought would always just be ours.

Slowly, so slowly, it builds

Something too big for words

Then suddenly its everything, all at once you know. You’re sure.

You’re tumbling, falling so fast that nothing matters except this

Feeling. This

Hand in yours,

Keeping you warm against the cold surrounding you.

Then the fingers slip from your grip,

You look over to see the face of the one

Who keeps you safe.

They’re not there, they’ve gone.

You hit solid ground with a devastating sound.

Then suddenly… it’s over.
