Sea of strangers


In a sea of strangers,
       you've longed to know me.
       Yourlife spent sailing
        to my shores.
The arms that yearn
         to someday hold me,
         will ache beneath
         the heavy oars.
Please take yourtime
          and take it slowly;
          as all you do
          willrun its course.
And nothing else
           can take what only—
           was always meant
            as solely yours.
