Diving Through The Deep End

Figurative expression of being in a relationship

I always think of being in a relationship,

Like being a diver in the ocean,

You’ll always want to dive deeper,

Feeding off the curiousity,

Towards what lies at the deep end

Though as you do dive deeper,

You’re risking yourself more,

But you know truly,

That it’s the only way you feel like you’re truly living.

You can stay at the surface,

But it’ll get you nowhere

As you dive deeper, you wonder

When should I stop?

Or should I keep diving?

When should I go back to my own world where I belong?

Then, again

How does the ocean feel about me?

Is it pulling me down to go deeper?

Or pushing me back up to the surface?

You never know what to expect

Sometimes you meet the most beautiful whale

Sometimes you’re being thrown by waves and thunder

At the end of the day

You know deep in your heart

You just have to keep diving through

And try to survive it
