an inviting and illusory prospect

don’t you want to fall?
it's in our nature to become vulnerable. unfortunately, it's also in our nature to want to become vulnerable.

don’t you want to fly?
the goosebumps. the feeling that nothing else in the world matters if you're holding each other's hand. having some part of my body always touching some part of your body. these things warrant vulnerability.

don’t you want to be dangled over the edge of this aching romance?
sometimes we get scared. scared of ignorance. scared of giving yourself up and then watching helplessly from the sidelines. we fear crossing the boundaries. if your heart longs even for a second..... don't. let. it. fade.

if it’s gonna end, then I wanna know that we squeezed out every moment
but another moment would mean so much. we lack faith. can't you just believe in me and can't i just believe in you? i want to believe that you want what i want. people are subjective. keep squeezing.

but if there’s nothing left can you tell me why that it is you’re holding onto me like it’s the end of the world?
i want to fall. i want to fly. i want to dare to go over the edge. i want to squeeze every moment, because i know now that moments are evanescent.

Hey! I know that you've checked out my personal blog (The DJF) and was wondering if you'd like to check out my new blog? It's a collaborate effort between a friend of mine and I, exchanging our different musical tastes and experiencing new sounds.

It's going to be a weekly blog where we exchange 10 songs and discuss them. Maybe you'll discover some new stuff. You can check it out here - http://10-10project.blogspot.com

I hope you enjoy it! Follow, comment, and tell your friends.
