I'm laying here
trapped in perpetual darkness.
The waves of life splashing up around me,
threatening to drown me in its murky depths.

The storm rages, submerging me under water,
slowly, ever so slowly, drifting down.
As if in an instant, the rough waters cease,
leaving me floating, seemingly lifeless.

A lone figure treads effortlessly across the surface,
reaching forth a hand.
My mind is cleared,
just by your touch.

That figure was you...
my love... wherever you are..


To whoever will be my lover
