i took her out to a dinner before she flew off to new zealand the next day.
as we had our nightcap, she asked.
what if the parachute fails to open
she was innocently curious. her brown eyes glittered in the soft light.
i could not help but smile.
i whispered
just let go
it is a done deal
you have made your choices.
she was at disbelief.
i did not know how else to convince her.
do not be afraid
as you fall
keep looking into the sky
it is the same blue sky
that you have gazed into all your life
the same comforting sight
you are falling into.
she searched my eyes as i uttered these words.
i hope she found what she was looking for.
trust, perhaps.
