i can't get you out of my head.
you're stuck there,
you and the words you said.
they were few, calming, reassuring.
i had been underwater for too long
i found myself in your arms.
sweet, thoughtful, dry.
your gaze was loving
against the baby blue sky.
i felt healed, sane.
i felt better than i have in years.
my composure was there again.
i had wished it had lasted,
i wished you could've stayed.
then i found myself alone, horribly alone,
in the purple light, along the shore
in my room.
cruel. cruel. cruel.
things always end.
but our moments accrue
and i am thankful
for the help that was sent.
