My "you"

Name the ocean and I’ll swim to you
The sacrifice of love would be worth it, it’s true
I cannot imagine life without my “You”
Death would be a better an alternative, than starting anew

But the ocean I fail to swim across
Is falling out of love, which leaves me at a loss
My “You” is gone and the image of her
The one thing I long for, the image I would refer

I am lost and I cannot find me, 
My emotions are scrambled, I feel like I cannot see
I want to love, to be happy; is that too much to ask?
But this ocean I drown, I cannot swim, I cannot complete the task

Help me, give me my “You” back to me
Just on more time, and I can die happy
