“I want to swim away but don’t know how
Sometimes it feels just like I’m falling in the ocean
Let the waves up: take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion…yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now come down.”

-Into the Ocean by Blue October

His eyes and his hands and his lips...they are like water pouring over her. She is submerged in the silky currents as sheets and hands alike slide along her skin. The blood pounding in her ears sounds like the waves crashing on the beach, and when she lays her head against his chest, she can hear his heartbeat…a small, simple, yet profound sound that lets her know there is something real and tangible they have in common: a heartbeat.

“I love you.”

Back and forth, love and energy and heat passed between them, back and forth. It crashes upon Sally’s shore, the water desperate to touch the sand, to caress and kiss its warm solid earth. And then the undertow drags the water and sand back out to sea, pulling some of the land back into the cool waters, embracing it.

“I love you.”

It sounds like a sea breeze whipping through Sally’s hair. Like the soft roar of the distant water. Powerful and mysterious and wonderful.

“I love you.”

A soft caress—water surging about her ankles as she wades deeper. Step by step the waves reach up the shore, desperate for contact with that it can never truly have. Step by step, sea and earth and rock is whisked into the water, swirling about it, merging together.

“I love you.”

Step by step…

“I love you.”

…land and sea become one.
