You're no further away than you were before, but the high tide is in and I accidentally slipped my floaty onto the train with you, and I'm afraid of drowning. It was so easy to love you and maybe that's why it's so hard now. Before, thinking of you brought feelings of peace, well being, contentment. And now, through no fault of yours (rather through the faults of a jealous heart beating in my chess) when I think of you it's always marked with feelings of sadness, anger, and (naturally, I suppose) jealousy. I'm gasping for breath, I have no floaty pulling me to the surface. The shore I left from is a lot closer than the one I wish to reach, and I don't know if I should swim back, keep going, or drown.

A Jealous Heart Forgets Not That There Was Love, It Only Forgets How To Love
