when he leaves

you weren’t mine. you never were. we met when you were barely an adult. you were curious but so was i. i was confused but you weren’t. your lips were soft and you smelled of the ocean. i was drowning and you were oxygen. it wasn’t love right at the beginning, but at the end, let me tell you, it was. we ended when you sat me on the shore and you told me it wasn’t love for you anymore. you left me on the shore in high tide and i let the flood carry me away. i hope you know that i’m still yours. because you weren’t mine forever but you were mine too.
