Like the sea...


Ever since I could feel the warm sand against my toes,

the loud screetching in my ear,

and the cold snot beneath my nose, 

I knew that I had a condition I could not shake or run away from,

I was found but I was lost in a way,

because my way was lost when you looked my direction.

 

Ever since I could feel the slap upon my cheek,

the hand against my thighs,

the wind blinding my eyes,

I knew that you were the one that kept me alive,

and made me feel alive,

like no one else has before.

 

When I step out of body I can feel the relief that one has when escaping from their lover,

When I step out of body, I can see why people think I need to love another,

but there is no other, 

when you hold my heart.

 

The wisdom they instill with me is dormant when I'm with you,

They say I do not see myself when I am with you,

I have not discovered myself because I am with you,

I guess I am like the sea when I am with you.
