The way you pulled me into the kiss was electrifying. You embraced me as if I would disappear--tight and passionate. The affirmation it led me to believe was blissful. And I wouldn't have it any other way. It was the scene playing in my mind as you try to worm your way out. Out of this situation I can no longer control. It was like I'm in a vortex, trying to reassert whatever control I have left. Trying to swim ashore with all my might. Trying to save whatever's left in the wreckage. But it was all for naught. I saw your face through eyes clouded with tears. Your face was full of confusion, anger and guilt. I tried to pull you into my embrace but you pulled away. You pulled away like I was a fiery coal you accidentally touched. It was then that I got my affirmation: I wasn't enough. I had to let go.
