I am falling down the mountain

We started climbing the highest mountain, and we were making our way to the top. But somewhere along the way somethings gone wrong. I'm stuck in the middle and gravity's dragging me back towards earth. Friction's trying hard to help me... but I can't hold on forever. You're traveling so much faster, I don't think you even notice. But if you took a look down, you'd see me losing grip. You'd toss me a rope if I asked, but I don't want to drag you down. There's too much gravity, and the snow's turning into ice... friction's starting to slide... how have you pressed on? I've never been much of a climber, I can't conquer what's uncertain, and you... you love the risk. Can't you see I can't keep up? I'm closer to the bottom, if I fell now I'd be fine. You're almost to the top - I'll stay down here and catch you if you should start to fall, we'll both go down together, and our landing will be soft. I don't want you to get hurt. Be careful on your climb, you've been pretty good so far. We were parallel at one point, but I just can't keep up, and I've seen you lose your balance once or twice.. but don't worry, I'll catch you if you fall. As for me, I'll press on. They say the climb is worth it. It'll take me longer than it will take you, but I think I'll meet you there. Just promise me you'll wait for me when you reach the top.
