Her love was like a sailors passion <br />Towards the raging sea <br />And he was like her ocean <br />Wild, simply free <br /> <br />but the trouble with the ocean is <br />It waits for no one man <br />No one can tame it's rebel waves <br />Some have tried but no one can <br /> <br />She loved him for his spirit <br />And his heart as tough as nails <br />But to love him was a struggle <br />And put strain upon her sails <br /> <br />The waves can rise up tall <br />And crush the biggest ships <br />But it was worth the fear and danger <br />To kiss upon his lips <br /> <br />She knew a broken heart <br />Were the wages to be paid <br />But she loved him nonetheless <br />Her love was never swayed <br /> <br />It's truly a sailors curse <br />To love a thing so free <br />And though you want to keep it <br />Many ships will sail the sea <br /> <br />She admired his dense coarse nature <br />She adored his wild heart <br />And she knew his heart that she loved <br />Before long would break hers apart <br /> <br />And it did, it hurt her so deeply <br />That she had to let him go <br />It was freedom he wanted so greatly <br />And commitment he couldn't show <br /> <br />It's not the oceans fault, you see <br />That it's waves are so untamed <br />It is within it's nature <br />So it cannot be blamed <br /> <br />Someday one man among many <br />Will hang his cap upon her door <br />In the meantime there will be plenty <br />Sandy footprints swept from the cabin floor<br /><br />Catlin L.
