Waves

Looking into your eyes.

By Rebeka GustafsonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

When I think of you, I think of the ocean.

Staring into your eyes shows me a brief glimpse into the depth of your soul, a darkness that terrifies you and an intensity that anyone would be lucky to experience.

My love for you showers over me like its mighty waves. As it washes over me, it slams into my chest and leaves me gasping for air. Completely overtaking me and guiding my life.

When I say that your eyes remind me of the ocean, it’s not simply because they’re blue. It’s because your gaze leaves me so overwhelmed yet so mesmerized. I stare at you with the same wonder and inspiration that found me the first time I stepped foot on a beach.

The complexity displayed in a single glance is enough to convince me to continue exploring you,

forever.
