There once was a boy who lived by the sea
He never once wanted to leave
He grew up with the tide
Yet, no one ever knew why from the sea he would not leave
But here is the reason he loved it so much:
For it was in it that he lost his one true love
He never got the chance to live with her
Since she was never part of the sea
He grew up on a hope that she would one day find
That leaving her home to find him would be wise
The reef warned him of losing her
The sea horses told him to go seek her
Yet, he knew that he belonged by the sea for that is where he first saw her
In a vision perhaps or maybe she was there
But this boy would wait for her
He knew that she was out there
He knew that she cared
But it seemed that she would never join him on his journey by the sea
Every night before turning out the lights
This not too young boy would go to the lighthouse
He made sure that the light was on so that she could find him
Was he crazy perhaps or actually in love?
After years of leaving the light on and praying for his love
He went down to calm waters
Where he sat, waited, and prayed to find
The one thing that was missing from his life
He prayed for this angel, this wonderful girl
To join him in his journey by the sea
It was then, that he looked out as far as he could see
He saw a light and a voice calling him
He jumped up and ran to the waters
He went deeper and deeper in
Until he found that him being at the bottom of the sea would then unite him with her
