A watery love

I wish explaining this feeling of longing made a difference.

I know that it won’t, I know I will see you in my dreams and that is where I rush to. That moment in time where we meet and it as if I never left you.

The nervous excitement when you swim by, the jitters that shake me from head to toe. You know how beautiful you are don’t you. Cutting across a calm glassy sea, gently and with more power than can be naturally harnessed.

I hold my breath in anticipation. Breach the surface and let us gaze together at the sheer expanse of your home. I wish more than anything I could leave with you. Our visits almost too brief.

You slick skin that always feels a tad cool to my touch, my fingertips dancing across your skin almost like the water droplets that slide down your back when you come up to face me. Bitter sweet salty kisses that leave me breathless.

I will wait for on that beach cliffs edge, I will always run to that spot and await your return, no matter how brief. I will let my feet hang in the crashing wake and patiently stare out toward and unending horizon, if only to catch a glimpse of you swimming by. One day I will find you, you will find me and we will live together under the sea.
