You Saved Me

I was lost, in the middle of the ocean.

Left to fend for myself

I was tired, struggling to keep my head above water but I kept kicking

Giving myself the chance to keep fighting;

The darkness became my friend, the crashing waves keeping me company

Until one day as the sun began to set

I saw a boat in the distance, you were sailing the deep sea

Seeking some direction, our eyes met at first glance

And in an instant, I found my strength again to keep my head up

You made your way to me, our eyes never breaking contact

You pulled me into your boat and together we found our way back

You gave me the strength to breathe again

You found me when the rest of the world left me to drown

The only light to guide us, the moons flickering reflection on the dark ocean

But I wasn’t scared, because for the first time in what seemed like forever

I knew that in that moment, on that boat is where I was supposed to be

I might have helped you find your way back but you saved me

You helped me to breathe again

And without you, I don’t feel I would know the strength I do now.
