Excerpt From The Book I Poured My Heart On

Jump (#11)

We both entered the great Titanic with hopeful hearts no trace of panic.
Maybe for them it was unacceptable and that being in love within a week is impossible,
But baby they don't have a single clue about the hell we've been through
They weren't there to witness the love we had in finesse.

You jump, I jump---remember?
We're each other's perfect partner
We never leave one another
Because that is how our love works
You jump, I jump

But Jack, I thought we're both in this in sickness and in health?
I thought we're both in this till death do us part?
You tricked me and made me jump to the safe haven that awaits
To the safe haven where you weren't there for me to embrace

I jumped
You didn't
It was the promise we both swore
But I was the only one who made it to the shore
