Changing Tides

So far away you bring me home.
The seasons change ten times over
And still we're here
Constant, yet always changing
but everything is the same.
So young, I could not understand
Unable to put words to what was happening.
Like waves lapping onto the shore
we've come together and separated
Doomed to follow the same vicious cycle.
You are still so young
and unsure
So many things left to experience
A process I cannot rush, as much as I'd like to.
I am not so young anymore
And I fully understand what has happened,
And the consequences I face, should I go through with it.
I must let you go to make you understand
how much I want to hold on to you.
You have been so much to me
And though I would love for us to be full tide
I know I must settle for the occasional lapping waves.
So Be It.
