The chasm is wide and deep; if we can’t make it to the other side, I don’t know how far we’ll fall.
A fill for the prompt “Starsky/Hutch; leap of faith.” Apparently, the muse decided to be all purple drama queen. Uhm, sorry? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is a chasm between us.
No, that’s not right. He’s here, right next to me, and I’m right next to him. We’re side by side, shoulder to shoulder.
Soul to soul.
No, the chasm is between what we are and what we want to be, the great divide between friends and lovers, between partners at work and partners in life. The dichotomy between what the world expects of us and what our hearts demand from us.
The chasm is wide and deep; if we can’t make it to the other side, I don’t know how far we’ll fall. Too far, maybe. If we jump, there will be no going back.
Then I look at him and he looks at me, and the truth is clear, self-evident and unalienable:
There is no ‘if.’ We’ve already taken the leap.
Rise or fall, then: as in all things, we will do it together. Hand in hand, heart to heart.
