I think about how I want you, want you to touch me, To feel your arms around me.
Remembering a time when we were different,
Maybe not fated to be together, but together just the same.
The look in your eyes, the fire, the way they burned for me, your body, your arms holding me tightly as if you were drowning, we both were. Drowning in the moment, in each other, drowning in desire, and we didn’t care. Let us drown, be pulled under, let the current sweep us away, for what better death could there be than this?
But we both knew there would be no death. We were bulletproof, invincible, young and free, not caring about tomorrow or the day after that. Not fearing an end, but seeking everything. Everything the world had to offer was at our feet.
Life went on, we each went on without a second thought. We built our own lives, hoping for permanence, only to tear it all down and try to build again. We suffered losses, and learned the truth; we are going to die one day, we aren’t as invincible as we thought. Our hearts have been torn, rended, broken and we try to fuse the pieces back together, knowing that hearts once torn, can never be the same.
We search for belonging, a home, someone to share the burdens of life with, someone to trust, hoping for healing, hoping for love. What I wouldn’t give to see that look in your eyes again and drown with you.
Sweep me away current, fire and passion. Quench this thirsting in my soul to be loved. Sweep me away and if I drown and die, I will die completed and at peace locked safely in your embrace.
