The things I have felt
The waves that have washed over me
The storms I've endured
The winds I've been tossed around by
They're too much for one heart.
So maybe,
One day
Someone will be there to endure it with me
Someone with their own storms
Someone who has experienced shipwrecks too
Someone who understands being washed up,
And being pelted by rain.
The things they and I have experienced
Are too much for one heart
So maybe,
I and that someone
Could experience it together.
Together we could weather the storms
Protect each other from rough winds
Be shelter from the cold
Find beauty in those dark cumulonimbus clouds
That bring back horrible memories.
We could sail through the changing ocean tides
We could stay together through all the seasons of our lives
Together.
So maybe,
Our two hearts can withstand every tempest the world my bring
Even storms of our own
Storms pass.
I and that someone know that better than anyone.
The sickening lurches of our tiny lifeboats
(That are full of people we know)
As they are hurled and tossed at sea
Will subside to calming rhythms that we dance to
So maybe,
I've found a dance partner
Someone who will reassure me
That if i make a mistake
Nothing and no one will throw me off my lifeboat.
And if either of us falls
We would catch each other
So maybe,
What's too much for one heart
We can weather together.
