I am being drawn in
crashing
like a wave against the shore

It is inevitable
and I have lost myself
sinking deeper and deeper and deeper
until I am witnessing
the fragility of the human heart
of the human soul

His soul
so close I could reach out
take it in my hands

And I do
as his lips connect with mine
stealing my breath
stopping my heart

Bliss

I inhale
eyes wide open
and for moment
I know what it feels like
to breathe
underwater

And it is glorious
