I'm trying to hold onto the tips of your fingers,
but they're slipping.
Trying to remember your lips on mine and how they'd linger.
Anything to stop me from where I'm about to go.
Hoping, praying that maybe you might show.
On autopilot as I make my way out further and further
Like the distance between us which grows and grows.
Now the water is flooding in and I shiver as it rises,
up and up and up.
Such an ice cold river.
Glancing in the distance to see your familiar figure
but it's fading;
Like the memories of our smiles.
I try to spread a grin.
It's so hard to keep my head up.
I'm starting to struggle, fight back but I know I can't win.
Straining to catch a glimpse, are you still there?
It's making me breathless and I can't breathe.
Oh the irony between my current situation
and how similar it is to you and me.
So cold now.
So cold as the river carries me and everything seems so quiet.
I'd almost say peaceful bar the screaming from the shore.
Perhaps even a little comforting that I'm
No longer gasping for air.
Let go of my despair, and everything that we share.
