”Trust?”

“No, more than that. Your partner obviously has to catch you, and then hopefully fall with you. The two of you are in your own little world, seeing everything from the inside out, and it’s just the two of you. And then you go through this amazing, terrifying, but all around perfect feeling because you just did something for the first time once you jumped. Something that was new and exciting.”

”That sounds just like the start of things.”

“Yeah, it is. Falling is the crazy part. At first you get that stomach jumping sensation just before it clenches every muscle. Your head spins in every direction from everything that’s going on, because at first, you don’t know how to comprehend it. Then, he comes along, wraps his arms around you, and everything is…perfect. You jump. You fall.

”The best part is when you’re on the ground though. You have this rough landing that just adds to it, because it just makes you realize where you jumped from, and where you ended up. Then you can finally understand each other so clearly once you’re on the ground, no yelling or signals, and figuring each other out over the rushing wind. And the best part is when you both look up at the sky together and realize what you just did. You get…giddy, and excited for more. Isn’t that what love is?”

”Just…Never ending? I know there are bumps, slips and trips along the way, but…maybe I’m just a bit disillusioned. Aren’t you supposed to fall in love only once? My dad pushes that a lot. I mean, it’s the biggest moment of your life, the most important thing in the world, and everything else is inconsequential. This is the one person who knows everything about you, knows you better than you know yourself, who you opened yourself up to completely, and you give everything to. You’d go to hell and back and around the world for this person…jumping out of a plane is the start of things. I don’t even think all this explanatory bullshit covers it.

”I once heard someone say that love is giving someone the power to break your heart, but trusting them not too. I think that covers everything I said.

”When it all boils down to it, you can’t explain love. Whether it be an action, feeling, an emotion or all of the above. Trying to explain love is just so…impossible. As my English teacher you should understand that, with words, you can only explain – describe – so much. I mean… how do you explain a sunrise, to a man who has been blind since birth? You simply can’t get every little detail so this person can experience every little part of it. It’s just impossible… You simply can’t explain something you have to experience for yourself. That’s how love is…something you have to experience for yourself.”

And besides, I only want to fall once, because I sure as shit never want to jump out of a plane again.”

“Was it worth it?”

”Jumping out of a plane? Worth more than anything else.”
