Like the waves of the sea, you come to me,
you crash over me, covering every part of me
with warm contentment, soothing calm.

I am moved by the force of you,
pushed about, unable to resist your power,
you crash against me.

Sometimes, you take my feet out from under me,
other times, with gentle caresses,
you wash over me.

But, like the waves of the sea, you leave me,
alone on the sand,
as you recede slowly out to sea.

Part of you is still with me,
part of you still clings to me as you go.
I stand there looking out to sea with longing and expectation,

Knowing you will return, hoping it will be soon,
to crash over me once again.
Like the waves of the sea, you come back,

I am waiting….
