Swimming in Cycles and Circles

I love you. (I just needed to say that.)
I miss those times when I utter those three words and you can still hear them. Now that I am too far, too far, too far, can you still hear me?

As I lie on top of this cold sea foam, my hair swaying with the dark waves of the ocean, I can feel the full moon stare at me, with pity. Circle, cycle, circle, a new cycle, with out you. Actually the second, and counting… I am flowing, drifting in a new cycle alone. No friendly face to welcome me for I forced myself to dwell deeper into the ocean, alone. To hide from my loved once, for I only end up hurting them as they feel the heaviness of the burden I carry as I utter words of yearning and tears of longing. To hide from you, as I give you the space you need to find the path the led you to my heart once upon a time.

When you find the path once more, join me into this dwelling place I built only for the two of us. I am loving you from far away, yet I can’t help but cry out your name, wishing that you’d hear me from down here under the dark ocean waves, for I am yearning to be near you once more.

When I left you that night I went straight into the ocean, I let the current comfort me, calm me, and embrace me. For I feel fragile, like a starfish out of the sea, I yearn to be close to the waters, close to you, for the love we shared was an ocean, for a mermaid like me, it was what sustained my inner glory to swim out of the wilderness, free and beautiful. I am now living down here, in my dwelling place still not fit to be christened my sanctuary, for you are too far, too far, too far away from me.

I became the Goddess I’ve always dreamed of, but powerless, for you are not with me love, the source of my being. At the bottom of the blue waves I swim in circles, cycles, circles, cycles, circles, not knowing what to do, now that you are not with me.

I am wondering if you are still thinking of me, if you still love me, if you are longing to swim next to me, once again, but perhaps up there where the sun caresses your skin, ecstasy and reality comes forth to comfort you. And you realize that you no longer need the sanctuary I built for us. Like the sun that could never kiss the ocean for it would end up powerless, you run away because you know that up there is your Home.

But I will not lose hope; you can still be the moon that watches its beauty on the crystal cloth of the ocean. Until then my love I will wait for the ocean waves to bring you to me. Until then, until forever you will always have a place here in my abode of purple, yellow, and pink pearls, wherever you are, wherever you are, wherever you are, hear the echo of my heart. I will wait patiently. So swim, swim, swim… swim back to me. Love, love, love, love me once again. Love me forever.
