The Cool Ocean

I want
To be washed away by the sea.
Take all of me
My sins, my flaws,
Just embrace me please
And insist, “You are who you want to be!”
As your waves gently rock me to sleep.
I can feel it,
The ocean’s heartbeat
And with every pulse,
I’m pushed out, pulled in
But I’m still getting further from the shore
Drifting
Into that vast expanse
Where the horizon doesn’t end
Or so it seems.
Don’t strand me elsewhere,
Just keep dragging me along forever.
As long as I’m with you,
I’ll be okay, 
I’m sure.
