The Storm

Out in these peaceful waters
You by my side
It all seems so perfect
To you, my eyes can not lie
 
Looking to the skies
The storm overhead
I see it in your eyes
The same shade of grey
 
Knowing where we're headed
This look of saddness
My heart begins to sink
I feel there is nothing I can do
 
The waters become rapid
Waves pouring in
Struggling as I drift away
Farther from where I began
 
Amongst all the chaos
You reach out and catch my hand
Pulling me in
You hold me close
 
Afraid to lose, I shut my eyes
As we hold on for dear life
The most perfect thing we've found
Here in each others arms
 
The noises subside
As the storm passes by
I open my eyes
To see you still with me
 
The waters once again clear
Trying to find our way
It's like we can see forever
All there is, is me and you
