That girl
sitting on a bridge
looking at the water
wishing she could jump
her heart is cold
and her tears are frozen
like the memories in her head
but then a ripple
of hope
of happiness
but quickly it fades into the winter
colder, she shivers
while tears ripple the water below
"no one will miss me, no one will ever know..."
she stands on the ledge
inching closer
closer
her heart daring her
her feet stopping her
"just jump! jump, it'll be over soon!"
she yells out loud
her body stiff as a board
"help me, please! does anybody care?"
she screams to the distance
echoing softer
but no one comes running
and that was her cue...
"goodbye" she whispers
tears falling faster
this is it...she steps off the ledge
theres a grip around her body
not cold like the water should be
but warm
the grip pulls her back from her near-fatal decision
and turns her around
she sees a boys face
too out of sorts to make it out
"i'm here" he whispers "i'm always here"
he holds her and kisses her
then a ripple
of warmth
that doesn't leave
it stays and it grows
larger and warmer
the girl is saved.
saved by love.
his love for that girl.
