Carefully I crawl out onto this familiar limbFearing my heart yet desperately reaching for him
Outstretching each finger, fearing the fall
Holding back nothing and still risking it all
Catching my last breath, moving forward so slow
Tightly closing my eyes from the cold ground below
Calling out louder, awaiting your return
Listening for the answer to which I deeply yearn
Bending the branch that long ago held so strong
Questioning each move as though it were wrong
Taking the chance, risking the fall
Taking the leap that love conquers all...
