It was then I realized
I wanted seawalls
And sandbags
While you wished for the torrent
To wash you away
Just for the chance to make a new you
Again
You had no idea how deeply I felt
I had no idea I had hidden it from you
I chose to feel your cruelty rather than my guilt
For somewhere deep inside
I knew the next wave would wash it away
The hard edges would become dreamy sea glass
The muted jewels of the sea
The carelessness of man
Made beautiful
With friction and time
Worn down in the waves
So a clear view of the world couldn’t hurt us any longer
Each wave thunders upon the shore
To sync up our hearts to its rhythm
To spare us the rampant drumming
We force upon ourselves
By falling in love
