i bob up and down around the surface constantly
it's not difficult to slip back down and keep going
the first time this year that it happened was a while ago now
if i'm being specific it was in march
if i'm being specific it was the twelfth of march
i don't want to make this about her again
because it should always be about you
i dropped all the way down through my new normal
to a place i almost didn't recognise
you sort of gripped onto my hand
on the side of the bathtub and up the road
you didn't leave my side for the week
i don't remember it well i think my brain slowed a bit
but i'm grateful for how much you didn't mind
when i couldn't stop crying
we'll be together forever because otherwise
i don't know how i'll exist
for what it's worth
i think you saved my life
