In the water

I met the one I wished to be.

 

As I watched her walk away,

swaying like- like-

like I read everything to find you in the pages

but they have just stolen my words.

 

Like I stand here as the moon rises.

Like I’ve run out of time to watch her walk away.

I shut myself in again.

 

In the water

I met the one I wished to be.

 

I keep telling myself

she is not perfect but

she has battled the ache on her shoulders

and come back stronger.

 

She makes you look twice.

 

She is all of me and none of me.

 

She says she will teach me the world-

the parts of it she knows.

 

I want to listen.
