You talk about a type of pain,
that I know all too well.
I see it in those eyes of yours,
you've also been through hell.
I've never had this love before,
the kind that I can keep.
I drowned in the shallow end,
so now I stay knee deep.
They say that time heals everything,
but it's been quite a while.
And yet you know a lot of things,
like how to make me smile.
And though this as a sentiment
may seem rather grim.
I like to let go of the ledge
and relearn how to swim.
