sometimes all i want to do is just fall. I long for the feeling of falling, just letting myself fall into the darkness of the sky. to not care about anything but the wind blowing through my hair.

As these thoughts go through my mind, I stand at the edge of the tall, New York City building. my back to the streets, I don't know if anyone has noticed me. maybe someone saw me, but just went on with their day. I probably just look like some girl seeking attention, right? but really, I'm just a girl seeking death.

I take a deep breath as I take a long look at the night sky above me, the stars shining, the moon full and bright as can be.

I want this to be the last thing i see before I let myself fall to the pavement. suddenly, my thoughts are interrupted by a unfamiliar voice.

"please, don't jump, please don't do this."

I slowly turn my head to see a man has joined me on the roof of this building. he is standing a few feet away from me.

i turn my head away from him as I tilt my head back, letting my long black hair flow with the wind.

"nobody can stop me." I say as I spread my arms out to my sides.

"well even if that is true , nobody can stop me from trying to save you. listen to me, okay? I understand what it's like-"

"nobody will ever understand" I say

roughly as I cut him off from his sentence

he dosent understand at all. he dosent know shit about my life or what has happened to me. who does he think he is? claiming to understand me.

"but I do. I know what it's like to want to die. I know what it's like to want to just end it all. but please believe me when I say this, I've looked back at the times where I've wanted to end my life. and I am so glad i never went through with it. things get better, time heals pain."

I stay silent as I take in his words. by the looks of my life right now, nothing will get better. I can't imagine anything getting better. I can't imagine being happy.

"what do you care if I do it anyways? you don't even know me." I look into his chocolate brown orbs as he inches closer to me.

"I care because I couldn't stand to see a person end their life at a young age. what are you, 18? 20? you have so much life left to live. so much time to make things better. so much time to learn how to be happy."

I let my arms relax and cross them over my chest. the cold December air making me shiver as it vigorously blows against my body.

my face is numb from the cold, so I don't realize that I was crying right away. I touch my moist face as I wipe my tears.

I am 19, but I don't want to have more living ahead of me. I just want to die.

"Just come here okay, just step down from the ledge, please? ill take you to a cafe and we can talk alright? please."

I look at him again, his eyes pleading.

I reluctantly step off the ledge and he immediantly pulls me into a hug.

This is the story of how I fell in love with the man who saved my life.
