Drowning, underwater, I need air. Missing you has taken the breath straight out of my lungs; I can't cope without you. I don't know how to function properly anymore, please just come back to me.
How do I get off the couch and be productive throughout my day?
How do I form actual words with the same mouth that used to always say I Love You?
How can I continue to breathe when we no longer share the same air?
Drowning, underwater, please come save me.
Stop crying, Chase, you pathetic little shit. I'm too old to shed a tear, I did this to myself, I drove you away.
Dani, I hope you are laying in bed with Matt right now, just thinking of me. I seriously hope you regret leaving me, because I miss you so fucking much.
Deeper and deeper underwater, I need to swim to the surface.
No, don't breathe, Chase, just let the pain finally go away. It will all be over soon, I promise. No more tears, no more lonely days, no more blaming myself and being full of regret.
Wait, no, I can't die, where the hell is the surface? Dani, why aren't you helping me? Where are you when I need you the most?
Fuck, I spilled my beer on the carpet.
