Wading
you are like the ocean
I stand on the beach and your tide rushes up to me
your foam softly brushes my toes
it feels nice to be with you
so I wade in further
your slow rolling waves rise against my legs
you make me feel peaceful
so I wade in further
your warm presence encirles my waist
I feel happy to be so close to you
so I wade in further
you blanket my shoulders in your infinite blueness
you make me warm and light
so I wade in further
your gentle waves caress my cheeks
your kiss makes me feel like I can breathe underwater
so I wade in further
your surface closes over the top of my head
it is then that I realize
I waded too deep
