Drifting Into the Blue

I've always been afraid of deep water... So why did I believe it would make me stronger? Maybe I thought its beauty was sublime, But beauty can’t hold you afloat every time. I took a breath and went under, Trusting you through all the wonder. The waves pushed me towards you, A feeling so fresh and new. As I ventured into the deep blue, It was too late to rue. I was in too deep— Now all I could do was weep. The strong current pushed me along, And though I knew it was wrong, It felt like I belonged, And it was all that I longed. I kept drifting into the blue, And I felt it was all true. I thought you'd swim beside me, Listening to my desperate plea. You were my favourite memory— Not my destiny. I feared the deep, yet here I am, Your silence hitting me like a slam. I never learned how to say goodbye, I always wondered why. Maybe floating isn't what I need, But the courage to proceed. Now I'll find my way back to shore, Where the light gives me hope for more. The ocean of your eyes was a storm in disguise— And now, I no longer compromise.
