I never thought
I would rather be with someone
Than without
But here you are,
Holding me.
Our love somehow feels both
Carefree and light and expansive yet
Serious and intense and visceral.
I often cry
To try
Releasing these flames
But they miss the mark,
Turning blue lips
Salty and effervescent,
Gently yet steadily,
As ocean waves turn rock
To sand
Over the years.
I feel
Like a grain of sand,
On my last legs,
So easily pushed
Back and forth
By the tide
Tossed
Nauseous.
I love water
More than anything
Except you
Even when
Both of them
Rock me back and forth
Until I feel sick.
Baby
You make me want to
Do life better.
Hold steady.
Hold me steady.
