I am trying
but three days in a car
make my progress seem very far

Thankfully the sea
has come to my rescue again.
Salt air, endless ocean views are friends

Patience you continue to show
mile after mile day after day
Eventually helping me find my way

I question again and again
Why am I so different, so bent
Maybe that's why you were sent

When others around me laugh
and enjoy good times
My brain chemistry makes me hide

Yet you are always by my side
I am so afraid that one day
You'll fold and finally go away

Believing promises has never
worked for me
Your presence is what I need to feel free

I'll keep following your lead
letting you guide my way and be led
Forgetting everything but you
each time we fall into bed
