You Are

I love you like the moon
loves the sun.
Depending on your light
to keep me alive.
I can be there without you, but
the glow is not in me.
I love you like the ocean
loves the beach.
You allow me to come
crashing in with my emotions.
I can be there without you, but
I would flood everything
that surrounds me.
Do you love me like the sun loves the moon?
Being selfless by giving yourself
knowing that what comes in
return may never even out.
Or does it?
What about how the beach loves the ocean?
Supporting my crashes
at all hours of the day
As I flood your face into
a glossy glow.
I know.
You are my sun.
You are my beach.
