I know I said I wouldn’t,
I swore I was done.
That river that was flowing,
Would never take me again;
Even if you were with me.

I had done so well, for so long.
My walls were up, hope gone.
But so quickly, with a few words,
You broke me down. And the
Waves started to roll again.

Your lips like smooth velvet,
Beckoned me. And in a moment
I was gathered in your arms
And rushing towards the water.
The swirling mass a hint of things to come.

I hold your hand as you lean in;
The kiss sending me heavenbound.
My hope returning and my heart
Fixing, we jump: together. No
Longer are we alone on the shore.

But how quickly you scramble,
Afraid of what could happen.
You swim towards the shore;
After she left you alone you had forgotten
The pain the water could hold.

Hold onto my hand! I scream to you.
I won’t let you down. But you’re gone.
You left me in the same place as before.
How long till I learn? How long will I wait
For you before giving up altogether?

Unfortunately, I think I’ll wait forever.
