“You were always the ocean. 
Clear blue (much like your eyes)
And I used to play in your placid
summertime water and giggle like a child when your waves broke and chased me up the beach.
I was always a grain of sand.
When high tide came in you crashed over me and I tumbled 
over and over again. 
I fell so hard for you.
You were so calm on the surface, playful even, and I could’ve lived forever in your company.
But under that facade you became an overpowering source 
of unhappiness in my life.
And I let you **** everything 
out of me for the longest time.
Then I realized there’s only so much a grain of sand can do for the entire ocean.
And I was just one minuscule fragment 
of sand in your eyes.
You were my ocean and I was always a million times inferior to you.
I don’t want to be your grain of sand anymore.
I will not let you drag me out 
to sea.
