Folie à Deux

Tides

You came from the ocean
with salt in your eyes
and damp clothing,

I came from the sand
with shells over my skin
and warmth in my touch - 

and oh,
how I yearn
to feel the waves
wash over me - 

and oh,
how you yearn
to stand on a million universes
and not wash away.

We belong to the tides;
where you are born
and where I crave to be

and we belong to the shore
where I stargaze
and where you yearn to run.

With every crescent wink from the sky
and every solar welcome
we are home
and we are so close to paradise - 

if I could just
touch you, 
everything
would join together

and I would
have a piece
of perfection.
