I whisper promises.
You resist. You know I never live up to your anticipation.
I remind you how great it was, but you remember what always came after.
You know my truth, but it's hard to focus with my hot breath in your ear.
You fear losing yourself again, but I counter that we don't have to go all in. We can stop any time, go far enough to float without drowning. We never could before, but this time will be different.
You fight me, but we both know how this ends.
I own you. I will always own you.
