Sometimes in relationship there are periods when one partner needs to drift for a while to find out who they are; the strongest relationships understand when drifting is essential for renewal and lets the process occur without trying to rescue.

Drift At Sea

Hands holding each other, fingers letting go

Hearts attached

Running along the shore, I can see your eyes meeting mine

As I drift at Sea

Can you hear my heart beating for you

as my glance turns away toward the setting sun?

Sands shifting, tides are restless

Drifting in darkness with moon watching over me

In the distance, I can hear your beating heart

I close my eyes and feel your warmth within the tepid water

I open my heart and feel your stare as I drift away

Drifting away at sea, will you wait for me?

I can hear my heavy breath as the water covers my face

I feel your arms and chest on my back; eyes open wide

I feel your beating heart, tasting your sweet lips against mine

You knew where I was all along, a journey well known to some

A wise mans traveled path, a young mans journey

Hands touching, hearts beating, waiting to come up for air

Gone for a while but I never left

Being the man I want to be, as I drift at Sea
