Reason 1 8/12/11

Opposites attract. I'd say we prove the theory to be true.
You're everything I'm not, in all the good ways.

You see, I'm afraid of falling. Yes, I know it sounds silly. The fear of falling has caused me to avoid situations that could result in breaking myself. Something as simple as a horseback ride ignites my anxiety. If I ever attempt a task that has the potential of falling, I'm usually on edge the whole time.

So when you challenged me to jump off a slippery, wet rock into an indefinite depth of water with definite rocks, I laughed. You knew me better than that. I smiled politely: "No thanks."

I should have known better than to think you would give up that easily. Gently, you tried to convince me to jump. "Come on, I'll go with you."

After much convincing, I finally climbed onto the rock with you.

You held my hand, and assured me that my skull would not be cracked open by a rock lurking beneath the waters.You comforted me, and made me smile. You danced, and made me laugh.You showed me everything would be okay.

and then I jumped.

You see, you aren't afraid of falling. Your strength is my weakness.
When you put that together, you get a lot of strength.

I don't mind falling as long as I know you're by my side.
