In The Deep End

Because I love you, I swam too close to the deep end.

I couldn't touch the floor you slipped under me.

I couldn't bring my head above the surface.

I couldn't understand why your hands were gripping my ankles.

I couldn't tell how hands can sometimes feel like cement. 

Because I loved you, I now know how to swim.

I can swim holding hands with him. 

I can breathe above the surface seeing his face.

I can use his hugs as floaties. 

I can tell the difference between a sink or love.
