The Jump

I stand at the edge of the cliffs.

Water gushes and collides with the rocks beneath.

The wind lingers in my hair as the cold bites.

I shiver, but not because of the temperature or the height.

Your jacket hangs over my shoulders, your smell barely there anymore.



I think back about the nights;

When I wore your shirt to bed under my own over-sized shirt just so I could be as close as I could possibly get to you.

Every tiny detail of that garment, I have memorized and engraved in my mind.

Yet I know I would not be able to put it into words if I was asked to describe it.



A gust of wind gnaws at my feet once more.

Wait for it, hun. We're just about there.



Where our feet leave the ground.
