Swept Away by Love

I want to be swept,

Swept away by love.

I want to sink deep,

Like in the ocean.

Floating away in the waves.

To have you there,

There with me.

I want you to lift me up,

Out of the water.

To bring me next to you,

As you push my hair away from my face.

As your hand caresses my cheek.

As your lips get closer to mine,

I see every detail.

I'm leaning in,

Your breath on my face.

But wait...

 

I pull back,

Afraid to get close.

Because being swept away by love can be dangerous.
