You're Like Music
"Rain beating down on a summer day..."
You’re like music; rain beating down on a summer day, sudden and unstoppable. You’re the heat of the sun and the cool sensation of bare feet on shady grass. I had a feeling. And it grew as tall as the trees you climb, as swift as the seasons change. The skin that you’re in is something of a vision. And I’m sure all the way through is beautiful too. The pools of your eyes, deepness impending, start to take over. I’m unable to keep afloat, but that’s alright and it shows. The ocean you make up is vast and unknown. And although I try and try, not a single drop stays in my cupped hands. I build a sand castle each day to show you how I view this form of serendipity, and each night you wash it away. And when I wake to find you retreating again,
I will know what it means to be alone.
