I promise I will love you more than Atlantis loved the ocean,
With every single breath I take, with every loving motion,
But my dear, I need a promise too, one that I won't forget,
That you will always keep me safe, that I won't drown in regret.
For as much as I adore the ocean, its wild waves and salty spray,
There's a fear inside that lingers, that won't ever go away,
Of the depths that lie beneath the surface, of the currents and the tides,
A fear that I'll get lost in it all, and the ocean will swallow my life.
But I know I won't be lost, if you're right here by my side,
Your love will be my anchor, my guide through the rising tide,
And if you're with me always, I promise I won't drown,
Together we can weather any storm, and never be cast to the ground.
So my love, I'll love you more than Atlantis loved the ocean,
With a fierce and endless passion, that will last until the end of time,
But all I need is for you to love me back, with a love so deep and true,
That I'll never have to fear the waves, and the ocean will never be blue.
For with you by my side, the ocean will be a place of wonder and of grace,
Of beauty and adventure, and a love that time cannot erase,
So keep me safe from the depths, my love, and never let me drown,
And we'll explore the ocean's mysteries, together, forever bound.
