There sat your hand
Craving to be intertwined with mine
There were your eyes
Looking away avoiding mine
There were your lips
Begging that the distance between them be ended forever

There was you
Sitting perfectly still and no clue how desperately I have fallen for you
I love you
I know I'm not supposed to
But dear lord
When I watch you listen to me talk
I almost can't keep my train of thought
Because I get lost in the depth of affection
You pour into my soul

I want so desperately to be a part of you
Connected to you
Experiencing you
But the universe would have to bend over backwards for that to happen
And I think they're feeling a bit lazy right now
I stood there
The midnight waves lapping against my bare chest
The black ocean
Sending waves over me
Taking with it every weary breathe
And pouring back into me salt and mystery

And though I could see nothing
I felt no fear
For if I died in the ocean
My soul would live forever with the one thing that always understood it
I just started running
The second I saw the ocean
I ran
I forgot I couldn't breathe
I forgot about every broken piece weighing down on my chest
I ripped off all my clothes and I ran
Into the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the night

Just the me, the moon and the sea
I can't tell if this stomach ache is due to the beer we drank
Or the regret that I didn't let you kiss me in that moment when we should've been wrapped up in each other
A rush between two set of eyes
For a moment we got lost
And forgot about the rest
I got so close to giving in
To every forbidden thing about you
There will be people who leave and it'll be hard
But you'll let them go and both of you will become who you're meant to be

And then,
Then there will be people who are worth laying down your pride, opening every cracked piece of your heart and fighting for

And life?
Well that's about figuring who those people are
