We used to bypass the limit of 100 emails to each other every day.
But now the refresh button is cold
We used to send each other sweet paragraphs
But now our emails are slow and have no subject
I remember when you used to bring me to tears when you twisted your words into beautiful metaphors.
Or when you're charming character came to life in the fantasy that was our future.
But now I'm not crying anymore
I'm emptying myself of the love you spoon fed me.
Purging myself of the sweet love with salty tears
They say salty and sweet go together
But we're just too different
And it's not your fault, it's not my fault.
"Us" doesn't exist, it's doomed.
I see you drifting farther away from me.
I see you don't look at me the same nor hug me.
And I've gone cold
Without your hands
I'm left to freeze
Like sinking in the Atlantic Ocean, where bobbing on a wooden board was my only hope until someone came to help.
Then when I'd see something worth loving I'd blow my whistle and pray they'd hear me.
I'd see the boat and a glimmer of hope would spark
Then the black blur would form into the captain
You
You are my savior, and I am desperate for the life buoy you throw me
Because I know you'd jump into the freezing waters yourself before you'd let me drown.
