The water’s rising quickly, but don’t worry.
I’ve saved you a spot at the bottom, love.
So, hold your mouth on mine one last time.
I want to steal that final breath from your lips.
Your trembling and gasping is beautiful, love.
I want to feel my hands close around your throat as I help the waves put you to sleep.
I want one last chance to run my fingers through your hair as the current swallows you whole.
Don’t worry, love.
I’ve saved you a lovely, cold bed right at the bottom to say good night.
I’ve saved you the tide to tuck you in.
