when we swim, we don't swim together,
we swim like snakes, floating away from eachother.
remember when we were two fish?
do you remember how our little pond looked like?
do you remember? at the time we did not realize it was an open sea.
not until now, not until we swim away from eachother.

the:flutter.

"we're alive, and we love each other."
the television is off, the lights are off.
i'm chewing gum & doing stupid things.
this is really, really bad. bad things.
let me repeat it to myself.
"i love you like a woman."
don't beg, don't talk, calm down.
"i can't understand how to live now."
