Poem: About You

I feel like I’m walking
In fresh water –
Am I going to swim
Or am I going to drown
In you?

I feel like I’m dancing
On low water –
Am I going to swoon
Or am I going to drop
For you?

I feel like I’m drowning
And simultaneously breathing
Through you.

Through you I might find
And through you I might fall,
And through and through
I might be renewed
Or just confused, but

I hope I’m true about you.
