to know what i feel
may take a while at start
you trying to reach me
not being able to grab

standing on a piece of land
surrounded by miles of water
creating my own world
being alone for so long

afraid to swim to shore
seeking for the unknown
while you; patiently waiting
are showing me how to float

you keep throwing me signs
on how to get to shore
giving me the strength i need
to finally start my journey

my heart is pounding
with every stroke i make
i am getting closer
feeling what i already know

it has taken me a while at start
to figure out what i want
fears fading away in water
allowing me to feel again

never have i been more
certain – in what i feel for you
never have i been more
willing – to get to you

reaching shore at last
only to see i’m too late
finally able to show you
while you travelled miles away
