Did I ever tell you
how much you meant to me?
How much I cared?
How much I held on?
Because I did--
I closed my eyes
and dived right into
your cold, cold water.
I saw your face,
your eyes entranced me.
Those pearly eyes--
a gateway to the sea,
and everything within it.
I was so excited to swim.
I spent weeks sewing together
special handmade bathing suits;
one for you, one for me.
I wore it
ready to swim,
but when I touched the surface,
it was cold.
No longer welcoming--
No longer loving--
No longer warm.
But I was already in.
Your tide came out,
the waves overtook me,
and the salt locked me in.
Your pearly eyes
were what lured me in--
a gateway
to cold water.
