Lessons in Diving

Aids me as it abets me.
Saves me and then negates me.
It seems to be not as it should.
For it does not act as I hoped it would.
Where is this peace of which I am told?
Is it wrong of me to act quite so bold?
You love me even when I do not know.
Yet you seem not to act as if it were so.

The time is now, my dear.
For so quickly could it disappear.
And now as I wish you near.
I see it all so very crystal clear.
Your fear...is...my fear.

If you dive, I dive.
As we do to feel alive.
A dream of it, so strong.
As if in an impossible song.
Unimpressive or not.
This, my love, is all we've got.
