Soon as you resurface everything pauses

Soon as you reappear, clarity and chaos return to my vast mind

Back to the texts. Back to the calls. Back to the hangouts.

But for how long shall we taste before we  claim the whole meal?

How much surface do we need to beat before reaching for what's beneath the way we stare into each other's eyes.

How long—do we wait to jump off the ship—because we're too scared of sinking.
