you look at her and you see a ******* /ocean/
and not an ocean of pain, a sea of sorrow, like you see yourself
you look at her ocean and see coral reefs teeming with /life/ and /possibility/ and /beauty/
you look at her and you see a pristine mountain spring you mustn't tarnish with the pollutant that is you
your fingers ache to be allowed to just graze her surface, calm and still, like a mirror, but you'd leave ripples if you did
to you, she is a river in which you would willingly drown, but to her, you are but a raindrop haphazardly landing where you may
to her, you are just another girl
