I was taught that when it's over, to leave. Don't continue to water a dead flower. The days I spent in the forest surrounded by echoing sounds of life around me; I did not get to yell, I got to sit in silent tears. Now the sea wants to take me and I am willing to drown. Through all of this I have lost who I am but somehow I've returned to you

I stay afloat
I was taught that when it's over, to leave. Don't continue to water a dead flower. The days I spent in the forest surrounded by echoing sounds of life around me; I did not get to yell, I got to sit in silent tears. Now the sea wants to take me and I am willing to drown. Through all of this I have lost who I am but somehow I've returned to you
