Your words become waves As they gently kiss the barriers of my mind, I've always admired the stillness of the ocean As it carries cowardly sailors back to shore, For the depths of my ocean dehydrates weak minds And drowns those who swim with closed eyes, But I like how your words tip toe when you speak I often wonder about the fragile thoughts your lips will never mutter, But I will remain wading For the day you'll skinny dip Your way into my ocean, Till then I'll admire your presence On your midnight walks as you visit my shore.
