_______________________________________

I met you on a beautiful summer morning
When the stars were on our side.
We were each other's cure.
We were the robbers trying to rob
The time that wasn't on our side.

We built a boat to sail across the ocean
To a land far far away
To begin a new journey
One step at a time, just you and I.

The very first day we were hit by a storm.
A storm that could drown us both.
But we couldn't give up on what we built.
We held on to it till our hearts were sore.

There were days when the ocean would never speak to us.
And there were days where it would never stay quiet.
And I saw you falling in love with the ocean.

I became selfish. 
I tried holding you back in this tiny boat
Where you couldn't stop dreaming about the vast ocean.
And all I saw is sadness in the eyes that sparkled once.

You were my hero but now I had to be yours.
I had to let the ocean guide you
To a land that made your heart hum the song of the ocean.

And I stayed back in this boat,
Holding onto the little pieces you left for me,
Until the day the ocean brings you back to me.
