Above Water

I want to say it so badly.

I do know.

I'm so afraid of it.

I'm in deep.

I won't get out,

I can't get out.

 

The water's fine,

What about sharks?

I'm doubting myself,

"Just dive under."

 

You look up at me;

You fell long before I did.

You're already there,

waiting patiently/impatiently.

You can't get out.

 

Save you?

Forget about the sharks,

I need to do this myself.

Diving is easy when you're already in the water..

 

I'll close my eyes.

I'll flutter them open again.

I see you,

I don't see a trap.

I'll say it:
