thoughts & feelings

waves

youre like the ocean
the way you make me feel
as if the ocean is my feelings, and joy is like waves
fleeting feelings of joy come in and go out,
sometimes stronger than others,
but nevertheless, always there
like the ocean is always there,
and no matter whether or tides are in or out,
they always exist somewhere.

at first, i thought loving you was just a way to waste my own time
that id love you for now,
then move on,
cover another beach in high tides,
and run away when it got too strong.

but the longer ive loved you,
the more clear its become;
im not leaving anytime soon
i wouldnt be able to-
to pull myself away from you
evaporate every last drop of water
what would be the point?
im far too invested in you-
and the way you make me feel -
if feelings are like the ocean,
and joy is like waves,
then you've pretty much got me here to stay
