The entirety of my skin
floats in his water
such an intangible safety
but
I feel pretty now
I feel wanted now
I feel loved now  
staring into the eyes of the ceiling
knowing he'll never let me drown
his waves hug my body
they never startle me
because I expect the current to change
and every drop that stings my nose
I inhale like the sweetness of flowers
but let the chlorine burn my lungs
because he loves me
and  when I stand up
I realize, I went too deep
My feet don't touch
because I forgot I wasn't floating in a pool anymore
That's what it's like to love him.
