The Fall

My Lover.
He showed me how to burst into the height of the stars
and as we witnessed our heaven hanging on the horizon he let go,
he dropped me and I fell.
I fell so far down into the depths of the ocean and disappeared into the black.
As the water filled my lungs and almost removed my breath I felt my body start floating upwards.
I broke through the water to see the sky where we once were.
I looked around and found only myself, he was gone.
I was still intact, still alive and breathing more freely than ever before.
I wonder if releasing me from his grip saved him from the heaviness he held in his heart.
As soon as I remembered how terrifyingly beautiful the fall was,
I was content.
I forgave and I still loved who he was.
