There was these moments
I was floating above jets pushing out warm bubbles
Inebriated, my muscles dragging limply
my waterlogged fingers tracing your skin
as you smiled down at me and told me it would all be okay.

The alcohol had given me a clear head
and the pool was allowing me to disregard my muscles and remain suspended
as you held me up to keep my head above water
and my eyes were closed but I could feel your hands and your breath
and in that moment it was all okay.

I don't know if we ever will be okay
or if we can chase each other's monsters away for very long
but for that moment
I believed we were
and while we had each other
could be
okay.
