Drowning
That's what it's like to fall in love with you.
I hold my breath, because I know that to inhale is to die.
But God, how I long to let the water fill my lungs.
Give my self away, and sink to the ocean floor.
But to love you is to court death.
I know how this story ends.
This script is all too familiar.
Fleeting happiness followed by eternal torment.
That is the promise of love.
But God, how I long to let the water fill my lungs.

Ah, the struggle to fight those warm love currents, knowing that once you go under, getting back up is far from easy. Oh how I relate. Enjoyed.
