Lost

You were my everything, yet I treated you like I would anything. I was drowning in my own head, you threw a rope and I let it sink. I was willing to sink with it to the depths of rock bottom. You were everything and more, but I couldn’t tell until I looked up through the water. By the time I swam to the surface you were gone. Now I float alone in this ocean trying to see if I can swim on my own. I hope someday you’ll return, this time i will appreciate you. Not as I’m gasping for air, but as We watch the sunset from the beach. It’s unfortunate I had to drown to really see how beautiful you are.
