She knows I can't swim, but she knows when I'm near I can breath. I share her breath. She breathes in me. She shows me the ladder to safety, just so I won't panic, but wants me to stay and feel her and know all will be magnificent. She wants me to be calm and safe. My heavy clothes pull me under. She undresses me. She undoes my shoelaces and pulls my shoes and socks off. Below me, she looks up and smiles. Her big eyes sparkle in the light from the surface as she unbuckles my belt, unzips my pants and pulls them down. I see my wallet spiral to the coral below as she pulls down my underwear. There's no need for any of it now. She wants to kiss me, hold me, feel my skin against hers. I try to remember who I was before her, before she was born to this Earth. Did we know each other? Why does it feel like we were lovers in a previous incarnation? I felt so shipwreck. Lost at sea. Drowning. The path of all creeks, streams, rivers lead me to this one ocean and in it we've found each other again. There's a warm current that now carries me knowing she's in this world, knowing that she found me, knowing I am hers and knowing she is mine forever.
