Jumpers Code:

So,
Youre at the edge again,
no, no,
not that edge, silly;

Youre on the edge again
the edge of making a jump
the edge of taking a leap into something new,

so,
youre on the edge,
again.

So youre standing there with anxious eyes and open arms
so youre standing there trying to figure out how to jump
so youre standing there trying to figure out if you should jump
youre standing there
trying to figure out who will catch you?

will he catch you?

so youre standing there
trying to figure out how to land on your feet.
How to jump and why to jump?
why jump?
should I jump?

and if I do
how am i gonna land?

but when I jump what should I remember?
Or do I want to forget?

Remember:
Don't lose yourself
and
remember who you are
and
be patient
life is beautiful in slow motion
I promise,
it's so wonderful when you can play it back
remember
not to be hesitant when when you feel the urge tohesitate
remember to speed up
but remember to always remember when to slow down

remember your first jump
remember to be gentle
remember to nourish your mind
remember how fun it was
not to take your time
but remember  that when you rush
remember that time flies by
remember to stay high. 

make sure you remember the second jump,
remember what it feels like when you dont land on level ground
remember what it feels like to jump back.
remember not to become someone's someone.
remember to stay you.
remember how miserable you felt
when you had to go searching for your previous self
remember how long it took
to start to feel new.

and remember the third jump
the one who made you wonder
the one who walked away
the one who made you cry
but you loved anyway
the one who drove you crazy
but you adored in the worst of goldfish ways
remember how long it took
for him to look your way
remember how nervous you were
that very first day
remember how cautiuosly you picked each word
and how swiftly you made sure his memory of you
would be one to stay
remember how excited you were
when he said what you had waited for him to say
remember how melted
when he told you he was leaving
on that cactus dry hot summers day
remember how much time you had and lost
remember that,
that one got away
before you said it was ok.

and the fourth,
the fourth one, the one who taught you how to skip,
the one who taught you how to bounce
the one who made you spin
the one who always faded
before you both could jump
the one who took years
to finally face the you and he fears
remember he taught you how to be a friend
and when you were both broken
remember how you taught each other how to mend.
remember the laughs
and the kisses
remember the sun
and the waves
remember those sunsets
remember that second first kiss
the most perfect second first kiss
remember the wait
remember it was worth it
remember the taste
remember the goodbyes.
remember those tears that made up
the happiest of good byes,
remember that smile,
Remember those eyes.
And in December,
remember he comes home
remember to be home.

But what the jumpers code cant tell you
is when to make take a step
when to take a step towards your jump
when to swallow your pride
the code cant tell you what the jump holds inside
truth is that jumping has no code,
just memories that will last forver for you to hold
and lessons left behind for you to mold.
just good times and bad times and stories to be told
just new jumps
that you hope share the right parts of the old jumps
one perfect jump.
thats all you need
just one,



one perfect jump.
