I love you more than anything and it terrifies me.
It scares me to the point that I can hardly talk about it;
hardly think about it with out feeling insane.
The way I feel about you is crazy in itself.
Beautiful yet deadly, like the ocean.
You are like a tidal wave that has swept me off my feet
continuously pulling me farther into the middle of the sea
all the while I struggle to keep my head above water and catch my breathe.
I struggle because I'm too fearful to just let go.
Scared to sink and let myself drown.
Afraid to allow myself to become overwhelmed,
be completely and utterly consumed by all that you are.
Become vulnerable.
Worried that if I were to allow myself to drown in you,
I would just end up being washed upon a different shore someday.
Cold and gasping for air
because you had left me breathless
while I was being carried by the constant, indecisive sway of your waves.
