~
I've been taught
To only tread
in shallow waters
But his eyes were oceans of blue
and I was ready to take the plunge.
Never mind that I've forgotten
how to swim.
If in return, it is he that leaves me
breathless,
Let it be that I covet air for all eternity.

Never mind that I've forgotten

If in return, it is he that leaves me
breathless,
Let it be that I covet air for all eternity.
