Depths

by Muskan Singh

We drowned in love
without ever noticing
how deep the water was.
And when we finally understood the depth,
we were already far below the surface—
too far to return.
Some oceans do not release
those who enter them honestly.
Some depths are not meant
to be escaped,
only endured.
Love does not always pull us out;
sometimes it teaches us
how to breathe underwater.
