To high

why must you set the bar
so high?
I get caught in the rip current
in your eyes,
they drag me far away
to that beautiful place
where my worries don't exist.
I want to meet someone else
who can fill my pale skin with color, 
to rid of the gray clouds over my head,
just like you can.
but you've set this bar so high, 
how can I give them a chance.
