Salt

I want to hold you more than the ocean reaches for the land
I want to love you more than its creatures need water
I want to show you its depths and how deep it is

I want you to slow down like a crashing wave
I want to lose myself within your crystal eyes
I want to melt like ice when you speak
I want to disappear when you're not near

I want to swim in your heart and drown in your love
I want to dive into your mind and open your eyes
I want to float in your being and make you see
That you are drowning
Drowning above the sea.
