idk what happened here tbh but lelel here take it

They're happy with themselves and with their life, don't get them wrong. But whenever they're up so high and on that very edge...

The temptation to jump is just so, so strong.

(But they're not jumping?)

And they think, "the world will keep on moving with or without me."

(But what happens to those that treasure them more deeply than one does the world?)

No one will stop them, no one brave is enough.

They're so, so close to falling. Just one. More. Step.

(But they're not brave enough either, aren't they?)

"Hey!" A hand grabs their arm. "Honestly, why do you always manage to find places so high up?!"

("I thought you were afraid of heights?")

An angry yet worried face fills their vision as their friend turns them around and begins dragging them down the stairs.

"Sorry."

Their friend smiles slightly and tells them, "look just stop scaring me like that."

[I don't want to lose you.]

"Scare you?"

[Whenever you're up high, it's terrifying. You'd have that sad look in your eyes. You keep walking closer and closer to the edge.]

"Just," a flicker of fear and a myriad of emotions, "...take me with you whenever you wander off, alright? Especially the ones up high."

[It's my worst fear. What if I'm not there? What if I don't reach you in time and you end up falling?]

(They are truly confused, just why was their friend asking them to do this?)

A grin rests on their lips. "Alright, alright."

(Why did they say that?)

["I am."]

The two walk down the stairs in silence.

("So why do you bother looking for me when you know I'm mostly likely up top somewhere?")

["Because..."]

["You're someone I hold dear."]

(If one day, they do end up jumping...)

[So please, don't disappear.]

(Will it wipe the smile on their friend's face forever?)
