A drop of water

A drop of water kept me alive but you saved my life. My mind had already collapsed into its set course as I walked the route I'd visualized. I was no longer thinking,  the key in hand my purpose was complete. Then I happened upon the bucket the one I had placed below the leaking pipe days before It was full and overflowing. I stopped, I took off the head phones and emptied the bucket. It was only a slight diversion but it slowed my pace and purpose. I still took the drink, I still collapsed unconscious, but the continuum was further along and so I was rescued  and kept alive. When I came to, my vitals were intact. but I wasn't. My mind still reeled. My thoughts still dark. It was only when you reached out not with a solution but with a commitment that I realized what I had to do. I did not choose to be alive but at that moment  I did commit to getting better .
