"It must be hard," I look at the person beside me. He is looking blankly at the dark skies filled with beautiful twinkling stars. His feet is slowly pushing on to the ground to move the swing.
I look up also before speaking. "Yeah," I answered.
"I mean.. are we that bad to be punish like this?" He said and sigh. I put my hands on the rope and push hardly making my swing move upward.
"Maybe?" I said and push my feet again soon as it reaches the ground.
"I'm actually tired.." A creaking sound was made when he stop moving his swing. He sigh and look at me. I use my feet to stop the swing and look at him straightly in the eyes.
"What should we do then?" I asked.
"I don't know.."
"If you'll think about it.. We are actually at the edge of the cliff. It's our choice to take a one step and fall or move backwards and run away..." I look at him.
"What will you choose?" I asked.
He was silent for a meantime.
"How about you?"
"I'm tired of running.. Maybe I will just take one step and fall. That's easier."
"Aren't you afraid what's waiting for you down there? What if you'll fall into a hard stone instead of cold water?" He said. I smiled at him.
"Then.. that's my end. I don't care what's waiting for me down there. I'm so tired of running away. Because in the end, what's waiting for me is another cliff"
He smiled at me. "Then I'll be with you... Let's take one step and fall"
