One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Rhythmically pumping your chest
Replacing the natural slow rhythm that should be your heart

Then I breathe for you
Air flows from me two you
Inflating your lungs

I told you not to go into the water
Why wouldn’t you listen to me?
Why?

One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Please Breathe,
Don’t you want to breathe?

You never even knew what a rip tide was
Neither did I
Colorado acted as an overprotective father in that respect

You just slipped away
Pulled under the slick surface of the water
There was nothing I could do

One (the number of times you asked me to marry you)
Two (the number of kids we wanted to have)
Three (the number of anniversaries you’ve forgotten)
Four (the number of times you’ve surprised me with roses in the last month)
Five (the number of anniversaries we’ve had)
