Search for me like Rose searched for Jack.
Climb into the elevators, demanding the supervisor to take you down, jarring him. And when the chilling water flows around your feet, snaking up your ankles, don't back away. When the man tries to stop the descent, push him back & pry the doors open. Pushing to the left, to the right. Walk out onto the floor, a floor which will never feel the whip of the air again. Submerged in 28 degree water & ignorant of direction, search for me. Call my name, even if you're not sure I will answer. Run, run down the passages, turning corners waltzing deeper into the abyss. And when you finally hear an answer to the call - follow it. Follow my yells, my pleads, my cracking voice. And thrust open the door, held shut by the incoming water. And when you see me, make your way to me and capture me in your embrace. I know you searched, I know you came, I know you cared. With blue lips & frozen limbs you treaded through hell & found your heaven.
