Dive In

There is struggle in your eyes
sometimes when you look at me,
you are so afraid of love.
Have faith baby, tie a knot and hold on.
You stand there like my love
is the edge of a cliff
and the bungee chord around your waist isn't
secure and you have to make a split
second decision
whether to throw yourself over or not.


I won't break you, baby.
I won't push you off.
In fact here, let me tie my knot
with yours, and instead of
jumping off a cliff,
we'll dive from some rickety plane
and free fall
until the parachute slows us
and lets you float back to earth,
unscathed, and held tight to my side.
I promise you
love is not what you fear
and when we hit the ground
you will want to do it again.
