"I'm scared," I begin.
I sit on edges of canyons
Run off sides of mountains
And jump out of planes
But I've yet to let you see
How my heart quickens
To the rhythm of your social justice diatribes
To the mischievous smile in your eyes
To any part of you grazing any part of me.
If I don't die on some mountainside
I'll surely die from my silence.
Fuck fear.
"I'm in love with you."

Hi candice,
I appreciate this as a fine poem, it really is good stuff, well done.
I have to say I've had a great chuckle over
'How my heart quickens
To the rhythm of your social justice diatribes'
