10. Promise
Promise is most given when the least is said. George Chapman
Standing on the edge of a cliff, one often wonders what would become of them if they just… fell. It does not matter, at this stage, whether or not that person has wings, or strength enough to make the jump, all that matters is the possibility of falling and being unable to return to that which has just been left…
But because of you these possibilities do not exist for me. You stand by my side, always, with your hand in mine. At times, in life, you will spur me on to jump, no matter what the consequences may be, and at others, you will hold me back- a gentle hand on my shoulder. It's enough.
Standing on the edge of a cliff is hard. It is impossible to know what lies ahead and even you, my love, are sometimes wrong. Whether it is the wind or the waves for me to face, I will trust your judgement. I will not doubt you, I will not leave you. When the time comes we will jump together and we will fly.
I promise.
Standing on the edge of a cliff is hard, but I have you.
I have you.
