I am a beach.
And he ran over me with his waves,
gently at first,
and then
harder.
Well I was moved
on the surface
pushed around into
unprecedented patterns,
but accounted for
in all respects.
So I am the sand.
Holding tightly to the tide
with an immeasurable appreciation,
loving
the changes,
but completely aware that one day
his ocean
will leave me nothing,
but salt.
And maybe
a bit
indifferent.
I want to lay under him and watch the light bend in his stomach.
He wants me to be him, but my body's too heavy to change it.
Is this okay?

Re: Is this okay?
thank you guys so much for the comments. I actually turned this one in as part of my final exam at school so I feel like I can rest a bit easier knowing it's alright.
and Dunkin- I'm really glad you liked the last line because I was pretty uncertain about it.
