Relationships and oceans

In looking for answers 
to the unsolved questions of my heart 
I have found that relationships 
have boundaries and sharp edges 
the dramatic effect of us 
our love just evaporated 
we hit a dry spell 
not knowing what to do 
but go our separate ways 
open to whatever comes next 
unlike the ocean 
with no boundaries and no edges 
it flows forever 
unfiltered 
never hitting a dry spell 
always looking for a challenge 
and new relationship to explore 
between lands boats etc 
open to whatever comes next
