[00:00:00]I slept beneath the silver tides thinking that love was something you can hold with both hands and never lose.

[00:00:06]I fell into the water with pockets full of promises. Your name stitched to every wave. The water welcomed me first cold arms around my ribs pulling me deeper.

[00:00:17]Pulling me deeper than I ever dared to go.

[00:00:20]And there you were like moonlight dancing on the surface.

[00:00:25]Beautiful enough to make drowning feel holy.

[00:00:29]One day the tide forgot my name.

[00:00:32]Your eyes became distant shores and every kiss tasted more like goodbye than home.

[00:00:39]I sank trying to save us.

[00:00:42]Swallowed silence by the mouthful.

[00:00:44]Reaching for hands already letting go.

[00:00:47]Now I stand dripping on the shore watching the river continue without us.

[00:00:53]The water still calls my name sometimes.

[00:00:56]And love still leave bruises like waves against stone.

[00:01:00]But I'm no longer drowning.

[00:01:03]I've learned that surviving is kind of like a rebirth.

[00:01:07]That falling out of love can feel like a crawling from deep waters back into the warmth of your own skin.

[00:01:14]Every fall is not meant to keep you on the water.

[00:01:17]Some falls teach you.

[00:01:21]They teach you how beautiful it is to breathe. Again.

[00:01:25]I don't think I care about the stupid you do.

[00:01:34]You'll miss me when I'm gone.

[00:01:38]3 a.m. Oh, yeah. Where could you be?

[00:01:43]I'm single again.
