<font color=blue>Learning to Breathe Underwater
By <font color=crimson>Faith •
<font size=2>
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
