A world unknown

You said winter was warm in my arms and that you loved me. But what if you decided that I would be yours only for that winter?

Wanting reassurance and attention in a relationship does not make you needy or pathetic. It is what makes you human.

I promised to fix you, to help you, to save you. I promised to pull you back up to the surface of these violent waters. But somewhere, somewhere among the churning waves, I drowned. And as blue faded to black, I prayed not for my life; I prayed that I succeeded in making you float. Tell me you’re floating. Please, look down deep into the water below. Squint, search for my fading silhouette. And tell me that I fixed you, helped you, saved you.

It’s time for you to live your own life without worrying about the expectations of others.

I am here waiting to be taken away. I am here waiting for you to welcome me with loving arms. I am here waiting for you to stretch out your hand to me. I am here waiting with a heart for you to call yours. I am here waiting to be saved. I am here waiting. I am here.
