And I asked her, "If I was drowning, would you give me air to breathe if it meant losing yourself".

She giggled and finally replied, "Of course, I'd rather lose myself than lose you".

I broke. I cried. Im loved.

And when I see you smile, I float up high, while my heart flutters like a thousand butterflies.

I knew..... It was love.

As the sound of each drop echoes, my mind wanders to places i'm ever so familiar with.

We've spent too much of our precious time rotting on the island called our  *past.

I breathe in, and hope we're high on the same air.

And now im drowning

Drowning in the ocean of self thoughts and insecurties

As i slowly sink to the bottom

Convulsing

Hoping

Praying

That you could give me air to breathe
That you would swim through the rapid waves and complex currents of my mind

And provide me

with air for my lungs
and love for my heart

Ive done numerous things
Things that have made her speechless
Trouble herself over finding the right words to say
And this makes me happy

However

The true moment when ill feel joy would be
When she finds those words to tell
Those three words
Those three words that can make you feel the most amazing feelings that could possibly be felt.

"I Love You" will forever be those three words.
