i will never feel lonely as long as your name can float up on my phone. you are the ocean surrounding me, but i don't feel like you'll sweep me up. because you won't. you just gently rock me over beaches. you know where to take me. i thought, since i was so surrounded by you, i needed oxygen. so i found oxygen in another. but after sustaining me for 9 months, he left. i felt panicked, because surely the water would drown me. i was wrong. you kept rocking me, gently swaying me back and forth. i underestimated you, i had no faith in you. but you never let me drown.
