away from the current | 0:50 - 1:24
━━━━━━━
the first time i met the ocean, he waved at me. he pulled me in, took my hand along with my heart. i knew i couldn't resist how his deep ocean eyes wrapped me up like a high tide, how his lips always brought me to the strongest current.
i fear the unknowns resting in his depths but it captivated me like nothing else. the more i dive into him, into his heart and his peerless imagination, even He, knew i needed him most.
i ventured further that i got lost, feeling how my fingers wrinkle with every splash of water. i feel numb when i think about it now, but i knew i missed him more than i remember him. and maybe an ocean will rise in my eyes, overflowing, but i'll brush it away with the idea of him all over again.
the first time i met the ocean, i knew then and there, i'd be trapped in his waves that i used to think i'll never get to hear the wind's song again. but the last time i glanced at his glistening surface, i knew swimming away was the bravest thing i've ever did.
