"I love you," he cried
or I imagined --
big bubbles bursting
to the surface.

"But I don't," I lied.
So it just happened,
hardened heart hurting
in your service.

Holding your head tight,
while the screams lasted,
in it immersing
passion stirs us
underwater.

For a different, darker ending, read...

Holding your head tight,
while the screams lasted,
in it immersing
passion's purpose
underwater.
