The Ocean

I love him, somewhat in secret yet deeply.
As the current pulls strongly at my legs
Beckoning to speed ahead
To plunge headfirst into the ocean of our life together.
But I must wait, holding my impatience at bay,
Not because he wouldn’t be there, ready and willing,
For the first time, that is not the case…
But I must first test the waters of love as it reflects reality,
To see if what is overtaking my heart
Is drenching his as well.
