Ocean or Tears?

I've heard of the term dry drowning But I never believed I could Yet today is the day I'm left frowning Because the person I thought could never leave would So as the salt stains my face I wonder Was this a result of my blunder? Is this the ocean or tears? This would be one of my worst fears. To see the day my closest friend, who I would consider a sister Could so easily up and leave as to no trace the feeling is rather bitter So as the salt stains my face... Is this the ocean mist? Or is this the repercussions of the words you've hissed. As you continue your daily life Know I am always on your side Even if you make me cry. Or even make me dive- Into a world, full of thoughts All these feelings I know you've brought So as the salt stains my face. I realize it was never my place... We'll never move into our 2-bedroom dorm Or get to dance in a thunderstorm. We'll never travel around the world Or be able to get our hair curled- By one another for our wedding And that is what I'm really dreading. So as the salt stains my face I knew it was never the ocean to take the place Of the tears that stained my face.
