Crossroad. 
Walking along the cliffside. 
Taken in by the sights. 
I wanted to take the plunge, but the fears and hesitation set in. 
What if:
there're rocks beneath? Or others already below. 
Or the waters, unwilling?
I walk on by. 
By the long coast, glancing intermittently at the safe waters beneath. 
Sigh, isn't it perfectly worthwhile?
I peered elsewhere, looking for clamer waters, gently cliffs. 
Yet it turned out I was merely seeking for the first one in others. 
Some sort of semblance that I would never see. 
Foolish me. 
The harder I try to look away, the harder it becomes. 
I struggle onwards, fighting the urge to look back, even for a brief moment.  
Perhaps it was coincidence. 
After a while, a rather long while, I reached the end of it. 
Turn away, or jump over for good?
Lost, I peered over and looked around.  
Everything didn't work themselves out, everything looked the same. 
I sensed a tug at my heartstrings. 
I knew what I had to do. Really do.
