On a divine riverfront we met.
But on that fairway, I was beset.
Those riverways became a mess.
I did not know whether to turn right or left.
I became flooded by your love,
capsized by my emotions.
I was drowning in the passion,
for it felt greater than the ocean.
I was enveloped by the waves,
breathing in the waters.
For a second I forgot how to swim,
but like a fish, my lungs were opened.
Now I'm dependent on your love,
like a mermaid is of the ocean.
I never wish to leave it,
for I know, I'll come out broken.
Let me swim in you forever,
exploring all your depths.
I have no need to feel the sunshine,
for you are my very breath.
I don't know I how I made it through life
before the day we met.
But I thank God for that riverfront,
and I shall never forget.
