To the Ocean

Since I was a child

you were always there

I always enjoyed you

but I did not deeply care

or maybe I did

As I'm growing older

my love for you is on the rise

so much peace and belief

that's what you put into my eyes

it overflows without a lid

They say you don't know

what you're missing until it's gone

now that you're not the first thing I see 

I no longer enjoy the thought of dawn

it's like breathing with a broken rib

Although I know of your dangers

you can't keep me away

some can come and go with ease

but I dream of you every day

this claim of admiration is no fib

You've shown me so many things

I could call you my greatest teacher

although it's such a natrual part of me

you help destroy this fearful creature

your price cannot be bid

This is the promise that I make

my love for you cannot be undone

for what other wonder is like you

there isn't any not even one

of my heart you can never be rid
