I'm in love with you
Words spoken boldly and beautifully to you
never under my breath for fear that you won't hear me
so, I say it again.
I love you
your face alters in that instant and turns into something different
I can see it. Fear.
cuz when I get this deep,
you swim towards shallow water
because you don't trust that I won't let you drown here
But me...I'm here in the deep in
hoping that hope will float here
coping cuz can't no rope reel me in
choking off tears chased by saltier water,
drowning cuz your hand wasn't there
quickly sinking as if I'm chains locked to a stone
Should have been smarter...
I didn't know that I would be swimming alone.
P.S. Just say I love you too and give me air.

Wow. I think I said, "Mmmm" three times.

The whole poem was beautifully written, just great imagery. The way you made experience of being left on your own in the midst of loving someone, someone fearful, hesitant...was AWEsome. I could see myself in the ocean... Great job.
