You're Drowning, And Then They're There. They Hold Your Hand And Suddenly You Forget That You Were Struggling

You're drowning, and then they're there. They hold your hand and suddenly you forget that you were struggling for oxygen, that you're sinking deeper into the depths.

Then they leave your hand, swim away from you. Now you've sank deeper than you would've alone; theres no oxygen and you can't remember what way is up. All you remember is they're not there and how empty your hands feel. And you trying to fight your way and you finally crash the surface.

You look down and again they're there. You forget every struggle you made to reach the surface and go with them again. Just to remember how their hands feel in yours.

And so it continues...

Everyone thinks that Sirius will be the one accidentally swearing in front of baby Harry constantly. Little do they know it’s Remus. Every. Single. Time.

Appreciate Kuch baatein karni hai tumse, ek shaam fursat se aana, Main apne khayal launga, tum waqt lete aana.

Before it turns to Ek roz ayega koi saari fursat lekar, Ek roz hum kahenge ab zarurat nahi rahi.

"When you're born in a burning home, you believe the world is on fire. But it isn't."

I try to run from the fire yet the world feels cruelly calm now, there are no singes on my arms, no blisters on my palm and it feels eerie; like it doesn't belong to me. Almost as if I dont deserve the careful caress of the cool wind. The noise that is not the sizzle of melting flesh is not meant for me.

The world is not on fire and my mind will never escape the unrelenting desire to run back and, bury my charred corpse in the home that burnt my sanity away.
