It is staring down from atop a brilliant cliff, realizing that the drop is a thousand miles down.1
Watching, paralyzed, as a gun is brought up to my head.2
Feeling someone watching me in the dead of night.3
And oh, it was a graceful butterfly, landing on a blossoming bud.4
It was my heart beating so beautifully in my chest.5
It was a smile on my face, so tender and touching.6
In my head I thought of millions of metaphors to how describe I was feeling - I was being lifted smoothly to the welcoming sky by the wings of an charming angel; I was riding on the back of a smiling dolphin, through the sparkling cerulean waves with the sun on my back; I was lying in the grass under the lush enchanted forest with the songs of nature enfolding me in their melodic grasp.7
And as I felt the soft lips tenderly brush mine, I couldn't think of a better explanation.8
I was in love.9
Author notes
Uhm, this is my definition of love. It's terrifying, and it's beautiful. It's unlike anything else, but my descriptions were the best I could think of.
=) I tried, and I thank you for this contest, which really got me trying! I tried for imagery, and beauty, mostly.
Did I do alright?
Title suggestions?

Oh Naila!

Mm.
