This hand I did not ask for
Came out of the shadows
Grabbing my hand abruptly one morning
Pulling me out of the comfort of my bed
And into the depths of the ocean
I panicked and chocked
I could not breathe
It was so dark and cold

But then a ray of light creeped in
Flushing me with warmth
I saw your face
Your eyes told me and I believed
I am a beautiful mermaid
swimming in a sea of love
Free from fear and pain

Our fingers intertwined
The deeper we go the lighter I feel
The brighter it all becomes
This is my home
Yet I never noticed
How beautiful it all is

I open my eyes
The room is dark
My body feels so heavy
But my soul is in another dimension
Holding your hand
Swimming home
