This time I thought I would keep
The stability chutes enabled
In case I fell into a flat spin again
We took off when everything was clear
And it was so smooth I let my failsafe go
I couldn’t imagine seeing so much horizon
Without ever reaching it
But your hesitance was too disorienting
And my rudder failed
And I’m spinning again

[Thanks, Krystal, for the suggestion of “hesitance.” I like it.]
i like this. though i think the word choice for reticence could be edited.
