They pressure her

to swim further out,

the uncertainty weighs on her mind

if she can stay above

the crashing waves

rolling over her body.

She looks back

for some hope and a lot of help

wanting nothing but pure happiness.

They pressure her

to keep swimming,

so she swims further out

looking back once more

and she sees one person; to her amazement,

swimming towards her.

He catches up to her,

takes her hand,

and takes her back to shore.

She can't help but love him

for being with her for

who she is....not a swimmer.
