Ten people stood by the shore,
nine would swim oceans for you,
cross every wave,
fight every current,
just to make sure you never felt alone.
But you kept looking at the one
who wouldn’t even step into the water
So you swam harder,
loved louder,
waited longer,
hoping they would finally notice
how far you were willing to go.
And somewhere between
trying to reach them
and trying to be enough,
you forgot to look behind you.
Because the ones who truly cared
were already standing there,
with their hands stretched out,
asking you to come home.
Sometimes,
we don’t drown because the ocean is too deep.
We drown because we keep swimming
towards someone
who was never going to swim back.
So stop drowning for someone
who wouldn’t even get their feet wet for you.
Somewhere on that shore,
someone is waiting
who would cross the whole ocean
just to find you.
