Vertigo

No Gravatar

Hold my hand and fall with me!

I might have, had you asked

But you didn’t
And I thought you wanted to fly

When I said I was leaving,
All you said was,

Goodbye!

If we had jumped,
Maybe you’d have discovered wings
Or I might’ve taught you to swim

Maybe we’d have crashed anyway….together.

    Somehow I’ve always loved the thought provoking nature of your posts, with so curt words yet all laden with meaning. Seems to me I’m reciting the story of my life.

    Might I say tht wht I smtimes DONT like abt wht u write is that it touches? a bit too deep?
    lol..

  14. ideasmithNo Gravatar Says:

    @ Confusedsoul: Thank you. The situation that inspired the post was, too.

    @ ‘nonnymous: That’s a mighty compliment. And its heartening to know other people have been where I was, too.

  15. 'nonnymusNo Gravatar Says:

    Ideasmith: maybe more like Im about to rather than been there… and im hoping i’ll have a diff story to tell.

  16. ideasmithNo Gravatar Says:

    @ ‘nonnymus: All the very best to you then! Just for the record, the story above didn’t turn out too badly. One jumped and flew away and the other took a swim. They just went in different directions, that’s all.
