I was going with flow

Didn't realiz when I started floating

But clearly remember the days when I was drowning.

Do you know how much a body can weigh when it falls into your arms, helpless? Multiply it by three. Nina carried it all.

I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away.

I'm so afraid. Because I'm so profoundly happy. Happiness like this is frightening... They only let you this happy if they're preparing to take something from you.
