Why are you the open water that leaves me floundering
and not the buoy that I can hold on to?

Why are you the waves that toss me around
and not the ship that I can be secure in?

Why are you the unpredictable weather that calms then rages around me

and not the arms that shelter me?

Why are you the anchor that drowns me,

not the one that grounds me?

***

Its always been love for me. Because I wouldn't have gone into it any other way.

Perhaps I knew the moment you touched me.

Please don't take my love for granted.
