Destiny Romero - Thalassophobia
Giving every good piece of me
Softer with you
Sweeter to you
Slowing my dripping thoughts
Tiptoeing around your water
Forgetting the rest
Forgiving you
For pushing me away and pulling me back in
The tide of you is rough terrain
I want to tell you all the ways I love you
And all the reasons why
I try deep sea diving but your waves are receding
Waiting for the day you ran up and down the beach for me
Digging my feet into the sand
I learned to swim before learned to walk
But I still carry the fear of drowning
