I'm sorry that I found happiness in you, because darling you're a fucking ocean and I fell into you knowing that I haven't yet learned how to swim.
And like the ocean, your beauty was so captivating that everyone, including myself, walked into your ferocious waves.
And we acted as if the oxygen in our lungs being replaced by your transparent water was only a natural thing for survival.
But it's kind of funny, you see, I never liked the water when I was younger. Didn't ever feel the need to stick even one toe in and test it. But then you came along and it was as if I have only ever lived in the water. As if it was the only place I have ever truly existed.
So here I am standing with my arms wide open, willingly waiting for another one of your tidal waves to crash into me. Knowing that I have open wounds from the last time this happened, but I don't mind the sting of your salty water, because everything you make me feel is so sweet.
And people may think i'm drowning in lust but I feel nothing but love. But because you're the ocean I know I can't have you to myself, for your existence is something that keeps many things alive. But my passion for you will be the stronger than it all.
