I'm Sorry

Devam Shah

I walked towards you, trudging through the heaviness of the air

You walked further and further away

Keeping me on my toes

I ran as the wind pushed me towards my desire

I got hold of you, and you got hold of me

You pulled me towards you

And threw us into the pool

And then I fell in love

I fell deeper and deeper inside this pool I could not understand

The forces numbing my senses, the air leaving my lungs, as I drowned in the moment

Until

Until you pulled me close, closer than ever before

The currents parted, the schools swarmed in a circle

You stared into my eyes, overflowing the pool with your tears of love

And I was pulled out, out of my misery, out of my senses

Until 

Until there came a time where you had to pull back

Where you had to look away and rest your eyes

And I saw you fade away into the water

The cold, deceptive water

And I opened my eyes to a white wall

A wall that hung above me

I waited for it to drop onto me, take my pain away

But it stayed there

If only

You had stayed there

And it was then that I longed to drown back into my bubble

Never leaving

Safe, calm, happy

But I couldn't

And so I spent the rest of my life trying to stay afloat, only to drown in the end anyway

At least I finally drowned

And now I can come find you

I'm coming, my love

I won't let them take you away again
