• two seconds ago,

    all i feel is fright
    blinded by the light
    afraid of the height

    two seconds ago,

    all i wanted to see is this bay
    where all swans lazily lay
    where white carnations sway

    two seconds ago,

    i wasn't sure if i have to let go
    jump off, turn back, or stay low
    'cause my heart tells me no

    two seconds ago,

    it has been a great sight
    going freely on endless flight
    never really knowing what might

    two seconds ago,

    there is nothing i can say
    shall i jump off or just here, stay
    but a new brave life is worth the pay

    so there, two seconds lapsed
    and i never realized
    i have jumped

    and into the freezing breeze
    of which, i seize
    every feel of every ease

    all the freeing,
    vague sight of falling
    into the unknown depth that's calling
    like an adventure that's neverending

    i never closed my eyes for a bit
    for fear of losing all that slit
    into this long bottomless pit

    the sunrise's sun doesn't shine
    as brightly as it did when it's sunset's line
    but then, i enjoyed the same sun
    and underneath it, i had some fun

    the bay may not look hazily, quietly still
    as the swans all fly away towards the mill
    and the whites had faded up the hill

    and yes, two seconds had gone

    i was sure now, i had begun
    to let go, jump off and feel the sun
    for now, my heart tells me to run

    that the two seconds between

    my fear of letting go
    and these risks that show
    seems like forever, but no--

    for fear of what might
    and fear of the flight

    the chance to give everything away
    calls me to be fulfilled as i lay

    two seconds doesn't matter much
    the shorter it took, the longer it launched
    for to take risk is more than just taking the jump
    and to take chance is more than go gump

    when life is all there is,
    to jump is a risk...

    but when jump, you must do,
    you put your life at risk, too
    but then, you'll find
    a hidden joy is there, too.
