The Ebb of You

 This tidekeeps me comingback to youover and overwith waves of emotionsthrough a thousand yearscleaning out the ocean floorof memories,smoothing out therough edged linesand making the pathto new ones.You are familiarity,comfort,like a pair of old jeans,full of holes,and stretched to the core.You are tattoos ofdragonflies and sunflowersinked on a strong backwaiting for my handsto trace over and over.You smell like sincerity,truth,honesty,and taste like lemon honey.I don’t have to decipheryour thoughtsbecause I read you,I know you….I am completely mein a safe havenloving myself throughthe eyes of lovethat stare back at mewith a smileeven when weare not together…even when youno longerexist.
