Love is compared to the sea, which can leave you feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable, first lifting you up with joy only to suddenly pull you down into deeper emotions. The poem depicts how falling in love can feel like floating but also bring feelings of being overwhelmed or lost in intense emotion.

1. love is like the sea
leaves you on your knees
feel it pull you in
then it takes you, takes you
over, over
love is like the sea
leaves you on your knees
first you're floating high
then takes you takes you
under under
