i am trying

to get back up

from the waves 

that pulled me away

from you

 

my tears drown me

mixing with the ocean

i need to be free

but i cannot

because i am not with you

 

a hand reaches over

i grab on, it pulls me up

who is this man? this beautiful man?

not you, i whisper

as my concious drags me back

into the sinister sea

 

another hand grasps over my own

it feels familiar

it warms my cold heart

my eyes meet the owner of this hand

it is you

the waves vanish
