New Heights The Moment When Love Overcomes Fear
From the Mind of Gil Grissom…
The wind blew his curly locks as he stood still, too frightened to move.
Fear swirled around him, rippling through his body.
The cliff refused to disappear, even as he tried willing it to.
He knew falling was inevitable as he felt himself lunge forward.
He briefly wondered how it came to this.
He didn't know why he wondered…he knew.
The coldness of his hear and his damning fear.
Pushing away the only thing he knew was true.
He had no one to blame but himself.
Loneliness beckoned him as darkness began to rear its ugly head.
He closed her eyes, not wanting to witness his end.
Slowly he let the coolness envelop him as he trembled.
Arms suddenly enclosed his waist from behind, saving him from everything he dreaded.
The embrace tightened, pulling him back into the light.
He leaned into his new haven, grasping for air…for reality.
He didn't want to be dreaming again.
But the presence behind him was not parting.
Knowing it was real, he let the warmth overtake him.
Gathering his strength, he turned.
Blue instantly locked onto Brown.
Something was different this time.
His eyes were open to her.
She was offering him everything.
She was saving him from himself.
In that instant the fear completely vanished.
He knew he was forever safe with her.
He damned the fears for almost destroying him, destroying them.
And he let himself fall into her.
He was asking for forgiveness for not trusting in her or in them.
Wanting to take the chance this time, understanding nothing would be lost but everything gained.
He opened his soul to her.
Letting his heart be known, just as she had.
No words were exchanged.
No words were needed.
Love flooded his entire being as their lips met.
Passion quickly guided them into their own world.
Moments passed.
Slowly they looked over the horizon.
It offered endless possibilities.
He wondered what he had ever been afraid of.
Never again.
He could now see his future.
His future with her.
Their future together.
The cliff was no longer one that fell into darkness and desolation.
It now revealed joy, happiness, love, passion…
For the first time in his life, he couldn't wait to jump.
Together into forever.
The end.
