Cliff Diving

Do you think if I tried to jump across this crevice that
lies between us, I could make it to the other side? I
could take a flying leap, and pull my body in, keeping my
eyes on your retreating form as I glide across the
precipice, going so fast that it seems slow. And just
before I would touch the ground on your side safely...I
would start to fall sharply down, down past the edge of the
cliff, arms stretched out upwards towards your mirth-filled
eyes, and I would choke the scream that would be your name
before it passed my lips. I guess I couldn't make it. I
guess all I can have is the shriek of the wind in my ears,
and the eventual impact that will break every bone in my
body. All I can have is your retreating back. All I can
have is disappointment.
