Drifting Into the Blue
I've always been afraid of deep water...
So why did I believe it would make me stronger?
Maybe I thought its beauty was sublime,
But beauty can’t hold you afloat every time.
I took a breath and went under,
Trusting you through all the wonder.
The waves pushed me towards you,
A feeling so fresh and new.
As I ventured into the deep blue,
It was too late to rue.
I was in too deep—
Now all I could do was weep.
The strong current pushed me along,
And though I knew it was wrong,
It felt like I belonged,
And it was all that I longed.
I kept drifting into the blue,
And I felt it was all true.
I thought you'd swim beside me,
Listening to my desperate plea.
You were my favourite memory—
Not my destiny.
I feared the deep, yet here I am,
Your silence hitting me like a slam.
I never learned how to say goodbye,
I always wondered why.
Maybe floating isn't what I need,
But the courage to proceed.
Now I'll find my way back to shore,
Where the light gives me hope for more.
The ocean of your eyes was a storm in disguise—
And now, I no longer compromise.
