I am trying
but three days in a car
make my progress seem very far
Thankfully the sea
has come to my rescue again.
Salt air and endless ocean views are friends
Patience you continue to show
mile after mile day after day
Eventually helping me find my way
I question again and again
Why am I so different, so bent
Maybe that’s why you were sent
When others around me laugh
and enjoy good times
My brain chemistry makes me hide
Yet you are always by my side
I am so afraid that one day
You’ll fold and finally go away
Believing promises has never
worked for me
Your presence is what I need to feel free
I’ll keep following your lead
letting you guide my way and be led
Forgetting everything but you
each time we fall into bed
