How long have I been in this storm
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing above my head
Kit was sitting on the beach, bottle in hand. She slowly turned it over and poured the contents on to the sand. She made a word... 'Dad'. Under her breath, she whispered, "For you, Dad, it's for you."
If I could just see you Everything will be all right If I could just see you The storm would turn to light
She sobbed as she brushed away the wet sand. I hate you, she thought, I hate you for making me like this. She stood up and walked to the edge of the ocean. The sun had set. She stepped on to the surface, arms outreached, and as her foot fell through the water, she sighed.
And I will walk on water And you will catch me if I fall And I will get lost into your eyes And everything will be alright
She walked away from the water slowly. Just before stepping on to the path, she looked back.
And everything will be alright.

Kit caught herself as she was just about to crash into Noah. She put up her right hand and looked down. Noah didn't seem that shocked though. In his soft voice, he said: "Are you okay?" She melted but had to brush it aside. "I'm fine, just wanted... wanted to talk." He motioned to the squashed sofa. She sat on it, looking up at him. Looking up at him like her life depended on it.
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown So why am I ten feet under and upside down Barely surviving has become my purpose 'Cos I'm so used to living underneath the surface
"What is it?" Kit swallowed. "Dad died and that was an event. A short event. I thought I could get over that. But it's not... it's the most constant part of my life." Noah nodded.
"Having a dead father lasts a few days or weeks. Having no father lasts for ever." "I poured it away. For him." "You should do it for you." "I know." She begun to sob. He sat down next to her and put his arm round her. She cried into his shoulder.
If I could just see you Everything will be all right If I could just see you The storm would turn to light
Between sobs, Kit spoke: "What if I did it for you?" "You can't, you just can't." "But I... I love you." "Don't, Kit." "It's true. Every time I see you, it's like I can do it." "Stop drinking?"
"No, live without Dad."
And I will walk on water And you will catch me if I fall And I will get lost into your eyes And everything will be alright
"I'm here, Kit. I don't know as what. But I'm here." He kissed her on the forehead and hugged her closer to him.
Now everything is alright.
