i never truly liked the water;
So afraid of what the depths of the oceans held
The secrets of what I couldn't explore.
Then I saw your eyes. A deep cerulean that made me forget my fears.
Replacing them with a desire to get to know you in a way I have never wanted to before.
You were my Pandoras box.
Full of darkness and secrets but also hope.
Hope that one day I'd wake up and look into your eyes and never be scared of the ocean again.
