When I was a child
I fell in love with the sea
It was my home I felt like destiny had tied a thousand of monkey fist knots to my soul and no mater how far I’ll go it’ll always bring me back.
When I was a teenager I saw the sea in your eyes
The light breeze in your breath
The freshness in your skin
Your yell was like a wave crashing into the shore
The more I spent time with you the more I felt at home and somehow home sick
Yet through the fearsome storms I held on to you
But one day you were gone, fizzled out like the foam in the sea
I couldn’t breath for a while after that
A drowning soul in the comforting sea
The irony of that was overwhelming
Was I punished for temporarily pretending that you were my home
Was it too fake?
Sometimes I wonder if it was destiny telling me that I belong with the sea
And no boy who’s eyes mirror it’s reflection can substitute it for me.
