it's been so long,
it's felt like forever,
but finally, here i am,
immersed in you.
drowning,
being unable to breathe,
has never felt so good.
my lungs scream for oxygen,
my heart beats rapidly,
but when i break free,
i only want to be submerged again.
you rise up,
swallow me deeper,
and when my eyes close,
i am content,
knowing, even though i cannot
see you, my light,
that you are there, because i feel you
surrounding me, engulfing me.
it's been so long,
i thought i'd never feel this
i thought i'd never want to
set foot in water again
but, it seems i'd only forgotten
the bliss of sinking, falling,
of breathing for another,
and feeling another's breath on me.
