I give you saltwater
Even though it stings
It heals and forgives
Each drop will cleanse a broken heart

Don’t open your eyes
It will sting and make you cry
Stay blind when falling in love
And you will be safe

It may look harmless
But as in love
Saltwater has a pungent secret
I give you saltwater so you know all of mine
When you take it, you receive
Truth

Not a pure White Rose or a bottle of wine

I give you saltwater
Its taste is bitter and briny
Don’t drink it
Let it last and you will not dry up
Like our love, be slow

Take this gift
It will keep you afloat
Lay on your back
Let it purify your soul
Close your eyes
Let our love fill the ocean
