I loved you so long that I turned into something I could not recognize. By the time the ordeal was over I was no longer a girl but the shell of a shivering shipwreck left to rot among the rocks. My senses had all been cast astray in the disaster, and, dressed in white waves, I had crawled my way back to shore. I still do not know how I made it out of that wreckage. I only remember the voice from the depths assuring me I would survive, and I did. and I am.
