Tethered

We were married by the ocean

We were tethered by the sea

We tied string around our fingers

To remember our ideals

I'll be brave when you are frightened

You'll be strong when I am weak in the knees

I'll be calm when you have had enough of these rushing waves

You'll be the oxygen I need

We'll take turns to untangle the knots

Though our hands may be tied

It's all a part of the plot

Cat's cradle etiquette we oblige

As we learn to enlace for the rest of our lives

Rest of our lives

And as we learn to enlace for the rest of our lives

Rest of our lives
