we were swimming in clear warm waters
playing, laughing
innocent clarity in our love
we explored colorful reefs and sandy bottoms
excited, joyful
there seemed no limit to what we could do
.
we came into a place of strong currents
muddy, obscured
it was harder to see you, but I held on tight
there were others swimming close by
with, around
we let them in, grew farther apart
.
the current became stronger, pulling me away
fearful, desperate
I reached out for you, fingertips brushing
I looked again for our clear warm waters
seeking, hoping
it was hard to find, a second time
.
but you came back, shy smile, wondering
hoping, loving
I reached out for you, our hands clasping
drawing you to me, come swim with me, love
closer, deeper
to explore the waters of our future, together
