Sea of You

If there's anything
That I could memorize
More than the back of my hand
That would be your face

I could trace your brow
Softly with my thumb
While I stare at your brown eyes
Framed with long lashes

I could pinch
The bridge of your nose
And bite my lip
As I imagined it
Pressed against yours

I could definitely enjoy
Running your hair
In between my fingers
And play with it
Until you fall asleep

The things I would've done to you
If only you were mine
As much as I am yours
Drives me crazy

Thoughts of you fill me
Hours before I sleep
A second after I wake

Like a parasite
That I can't seem to get off me
No matter what I do
Or what I tell myself
Or what other people say

I can feel myself drowning
Down the endless abyss
Of you

An ocean full of different versions of you
Either true or not
I'm not quite sure

Because this body of water
Has been drowning me
For so long
That breathing underwater
Feels normal

You're a force to reckon with
Calm and still
Almost as if nothing but a mere
Personification of tranquility

But going deeper
There seems to be
An endless amount
Of you

Were all of you
Just fragments in my mind?
The versions
That I have subconsciously created
So I could cope
With the fact that I couldn't do
What I would've wished to have done with you

Were everything about you
Are details I made up
Just so even in my wildest dreams
And in the deepest seas
You were mine
As much as I am yours

I drown in my own reverie
Knowing full well you'll let me
