Heartache

We climb mountains of hope,
trying to reach the pinnacle,
the realization of love,
of two become one.

We stretch our hearts to heights of promise,
waiting for the point,
the peak of love realized,
the first 'I Love You'.

And just at that sound,
just at that moment,
     suddenly we find ourselves falling,
     without a parachute,
     without an idea of how steep,
     or how deep or how long the feeling will last,
  our soul praying for a soft landing.
