Water

Beneath the deep lakes of your soul, there's no need to swim for I cannot drown. It's a holy water, a sacred one and long ago before this world could have you, before you were born into this fragile body of yours by washing all over me you turned the bitter tears of mine into your sweetness of joy like Okeanos. From you, I could never gulp down enough for I forget to remember but remember to forget at the same time, because one side of yours is Lethe and the another one is Mnemosyn, thus to here and now I can always belong.
