True Love

My one true love is the ocean I love it's smell and colour I long to see it just once more Ages ago i stood there Out on the sandy shores The wind blew my hair Shells and rocks speckled the sand I wish to go back, but i can't I'm landlocked now And I can never swim I just want to go back again My home is supposed to be my house But I don't feel at home here My one true home is the ocean My one true love is the ocean But I will never see it again I long to run away until I reach the coast I want to fly until I find the sea I can't bring myself to smile 'till i reach it What is wrong with me? Why can't i live and love until I'm there? Why am I so tortured by this small thing? Why am I in so much pain becuase of this? In my dreams i feel the breeze And hear the roaring waves I smell that salt that's in the air I feel the water 'neath my feet And i see it's beauty Light blue waves splash onto the sand Seashells glitter in the sun Fish glide through the water Seaweed brushes across the waves The shimmering waves surge onto the sand Effortlessly shaping it Washing away the evidence of human life My one true love is the ocean That's what it will always be.
