All of Me

“Heads under water, but I’m breathing fine.” John Legend, All of Me.

Sometimes that is true. You are swimming along, trying to make it through something, but you know they have you, and they will wait for you.

Sometimes not the case at all. Sometimes you are just treading water, swimming toward them, and they keep swimming farther and farther away from you.

Neither of you wants that or even knows it until suddenly someone realizes the distance is just too far.

I am reminded of a Seinfeld episode. where George’s girlfriend won’t turn her key.

I laugh to myself sometimes because I want to be that bold and brave and say I am not turning my key. But the truth is, I will turn it every time. I don’t want to put someone in that position. I don’t want to look at them and say, I know you don’t want me anymore, and you are looking for ways out, but I want you enough for both of us, so stay.
