Blue all around us
and the waves come crashing down
we both start taking in water our lungs gasping
We had been so strong
Every time it rained
One pulling up the other
And together staying afloat
But this was no sunday shower
this was a hurricane
and we were both sinking in the sea
I grabbed ahold of his hand
Latching ourselves together
Becoming anchored to each other
And dragging one another down
Water above, below, all around
my lungs on fire
and my eyes searching for air
All at once his hand let go
I grasped for it once again
But he was gone and swimming
So I had to do the same
The water fell back to reveal a dark grey sky ready to cry
my lung filled with oxygen once again but
my heart filled with fear as i saw the rain to come
Barely able to keep myself afloat
I started searching for him
But set in between us was the storm of a life
That neither of us knew how to navigate
The wind and waves pulling in and out
making this ocean seem like a horrifying nightmare
that had not long before been such a dream
The storm would pull one of us in
The other jumping in to save the day
But we could not seem to escape
This hurricane that had engulfed our lives
So we kept wading in the water
hoping for the storm to pass
so we could again see one another
