Drowning

I was drowning 
The water filled my mouth 
Leaving a taste 
So bitter and sharp 
It stayed forever 

My eyes were dull 
And I felt a pain in my throat 
I wanted to give up
For the waters to take me 
To another place
Another time 

What did you see in me 
In that moment 
When I needed someone 
What did you see 
In my eyes 

What I see in yours 
The same in mine 
As deep inside 
We're still the same 
And your eyes 
Still match
The color of your 
Soul

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
