i had a fear of drowning until i met the boy whose eyes rivaled the sea
i had a fear of dying in a fire until i felt the heat of his skin
i had a fear of falling into a deeper depression until I fell asleep in his arms
I had fears of getting hurt in a car crash until our lips crashed together

I was afraid of just about everything

now the only thing I'm afraid
is losing the boy who taught me how to swim
and how to put out fires
and how to put a stop to all the bad thoughts
how to buckle my seatbelt
