I Want to Wrap Myself Tight

I Want to wrap myself tight so I don't float away, but not too tight because I still want to sway with the flow...

To be held as to not be lost out to sea, but gently so I won't feel too confined...

I need a love like that, held but not smothered, flowing but rooted too...

I think in my life I've kicked myself loose from the seaweed thinking I was a good enough floater to stay close on my own...

As I've drifted too far sometimes, someone has puled me back and tethered me to them...

Those someone's have floated out to sea now...

No one to watch for me floating away...

And no one to pull me back...

So Ive just been floating out here...

Sometimes pulling myself back, and sometimes too tired to swim...

Where is new seaweed to wrap myself in, new vines to tether my heart too...
