Keeping You

The waves rushed over my head
Water blurred my vision
Filled my lungs
I was sinking and I didn't care
In the moments of death, I saw us.
I saw our future, our legacy, our life together
As my feet hit the bottom, I had a choice.
Give up or fight.

My body became limp. I watched as the last bubbles left my breath.
I gasped for air as I reached the surface.
I had to be close to you
Even if it takes death to remember.

I play the moments in my head over and over and over. 
Paint a picture of you in my head
The memory shall not dissipate.
I walk between two worlds waiting for you to come back. 
Not alive but not dead.
You will make the choice once you've made your decision.
I hope you choose me.
