it's not the jump,it's the fall

admit it;we're not afraid jumping off a cliff,

nor are we afraid of climbing the highest tower,

we're afraid of the fall,

afraid of hurting our oh-so-fragile self.

just like being in love,

it's like putting our hearts on the brink,

on a string so thin,

a tiny blow could push it down.

some are courageous enough to go on and jump in the pits,

some are too cautious not to even risk getting a scratch.

"If you want the rainbow,you've got to put up with the rain."
