The opposite of addiction is connection Riptide provides a strong direction Gathering us up and bringing us along with a pull so strong It took us a long time to get here both of us a bit worse for the wear and now that we are near we won't ever let go We were always each others The bond we made was strong and we could never go wrong The bindings now sprinkled with wisdom and experience The love delightful and delirium Why did we wait so long we ask? Because neither of us could risk what we had for what might be And now we can't risk what we have The pull to strong the day to long and we both need, want and desire the other freely Lets just be together Lets just be together Susan Speaking to Alan (C) 8/29/2023 Susan Manley
