When I watched Aladdin as a kid, I always wondered why Jasmine hesitated before taking his hand. I understand now. It opens a door–a door that’s both terrifying to walk through and impossible to close.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatUXUyrqhe
Everything it’ll mean to take this hand and everything I’ll leave behind whirlwind in my mind. Will I ever be able to come back?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyzIZHN5dn
I gaze downward. The land below us is a palindrome of the night sky above us. It really does feel like the top of the world.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbS2sPkvIv
The wind is fiercely protective. I battle against it to keep my feet at the edge, even as it shoves me back to safety.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLiaZ8SZkI

I look up. Our eyes meet. There’s another gust of wind, sweeping away my every thought. All that matters is you and your eyes and your hand. It’s worth leaving everything behind.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9gs4jTl66
You’re all that matters.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS2t2uLFLv
I rest my cold fingers on your warm palm. Your hand closes over mine. We look at each other. We look down.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzKxefdLA1
And we jump.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk76aWXIRj3
