I fought for air.
I trembled in the cold.
I let go of my raft and fell beneath the waves that so long ago wanted me to break..
I saw the sun fade underneath miles of water... underneath pounds of weight... underneath what seemed like every dream.
I stayed there for what seemed ages... boats didn't bother to throw their life-savers out for this wreck anymore. Some called out to me, hoping for any response... hoping that somewhere beneath the water, I still struggled. But they too vanished in time.. no longer able to wait for even the slightest twitch of life.
--------------
It stirred from deep within my body, not ready to let go yet...
And I gasped for air.
But it was merely the beginning of my climb to reach air again....
The want to breath again.. even without you.
