you make me a mermaid

i love you.
During the high tide
And the low

whether we're laughing
with butterflies in our bellies,
or swiping tears off still soaked faces,

loving you feels like a back float in the ocean.
levitating, yet controlled
the depths of lapping
water.

The waves could spill right up over your chin, or rest calmly

It all just takes time

And swimming with the current.
with you, I'm the mermaid.

never once have I thought the way she has.

who would want to leave such warm, inviting waters?

If I ever dreamed to reach the shore
I would need
A necklace
Of your shells.

I would need
To leave
my voice beneath the salt
Shrieking until it burns clean
How much you mean to me
i love you
