I love the oceans and seas but I never learnt how to swim; I'm standing ankle-deep in the flood of your eyes. I've learnt to breathe water for when you cry, and your waves pull me under.

I love the oceans and seas but I never learnt how to swim; I'm standing ankle-deep in the flood of your eyes. I've learnt to breathe water for when you cry, and your waves pull me under.
And I won't be afraid, even when the saltwater burns into my lungs like a thousand words you wanted to say and never could in this storm of fury and thunder.
