a postcard to my biggest fear:

do you remember when we used to fall asleep talking to each other? i didn't need solace from the broken down walls of my body. but the ocean was calling you home and she told you not to look back. i swam for what seemed like days to find proof of your existence. everyone who knew me thought my swollen heart had to do with the saltwater running in my veins.

wish you were here,

me
