To the boy with the ocean in his eyes,
I don’t know if you remember, but you saved me once  

I was drowning, and so very tired, I couldn’t keep my eyes open
but I didn’t care if I fell asleep
I didn’t care if I never woke up
I was sinking. I was falling, deeper and deeper
My heart was so heavy, and I didn’t want to go on breathing
I didn’t want to even try
I had given up, counted myself as lost
But you reached for me,
you pulled me out of the darkness

Do you remember now?
When you held me, and you whispered that I was going to be ok
You promised. You promised that everything would be ok and that you would never let me go
But you did

I won’t say my heart is broken
Because it’s not
It’s just a little bit numb, a little bit cold, a little bit tired
of trying to love someone that refuses to be loved

Why won’t you let me save you?

All my life, I’ve thought of myself as weak
But now I am strong enough to admit that I might be alone for awhile
And I’m ok with that

I will be good enough
I will be worth it
For someone, someday

But I don’t fear being lost anymore, I’m not afraid of uncertainty
I know that eventually my wandering will lead me somewhere beautiful
And you don’t need to save me again
I’m no longer falling, no longer sinking
If anything I’m becoming stronger
I’m not willing to slip away this time

I’ve still got a ways to go before I reach the surface
But I’m not drowning anymore
I am going to live
I am going to be happy
