I’m wearing a life jacket, I feel safe

Small paddle boat, a one man band

Sailing in this endless ocean and

I don’t know exactly where I’m going

I can’t exactly see what’s in front of me

All I know is that I’m willing to sail across this endless ocean

Because I love you

There is no rush; I don’t wear a watch

I want this voyage to last forever

I can deal with the rain, I came prepared for it

The skyscraping waves don’t intimidate me

I stand up! I’m here for it!

Submerge me in your wave of emotions

Saturate my lungs with your presence

So that when I breathe, I breathe you

So that as I am slowly drifting to the bottom of the ocean

Nothing concerns me more than you

So that as you carry me from where I was to your choice of a destination

I’ve developed trust in you

Oh this endless ocean

I want to be the first man to ever sail across it

Successfully

When I’ve reached the point of no return

I want it to be known, recognized publically

That I’ve conquered you

That you’ve conquered me

That you captivated me

Submerged me

And now my heart is completely open

Let’s sail into the sunset, drifting away in your endless ocean...
