Do you need me to stop looking for you in every little thing I do? If so, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. I wouldn’t be able to brush my teeth without thinking about when we would do it together over the sink, me wearing your T-shirt to bed. I wouldn’t be able to…

The instant excitement of knowing you’re waiting for me on Sunday mornings, waiting for me to jump into bed and seep into your body heat.

but Breathing Underwater The silence of water emerging over your body fills in every gap of insecurities and critiques. The pain of water flooding your lungs softens the noise in your head. Everything slows while you sink to the bottom, the baggage of shame, guilt, and fear pulling you toward the dark, empty ocean floor.…

You never deserved what happened to you and I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect you. If I could go back, I would make sure no monsters got into your castle. I told you it made you stronger and we could get through anything. I’m sorry I was so hard on you when it came…
