Work Text:

it’s hard to remember a 

time when you weren’t

a crucial part of me. 

you are the anchor in my soul 

keeping me grounded. 

striking like a hot dagger, 

setting me alight from the inside  

in an intoxicating concoction

of danger and beauty  

that sends me adrift. 

 

it’s bigger than us, 

it’s rocky waves and jagged rocks, 

sunsets over the horizon 

painting a beautiful display.   

sword fights and shared kisses, 

the sweet tang of oranges 

dancing on my tongue. 

 

we are the ocean 

lapping at the shore. 

we are ships at midnight   

finding our way in the fog. 

forever a longing deep inside 

that’s just between

us and the moon. 

and I know that the sea will 

always bring me home.
