I was a girl with eyes of grey,

Who lived by stormy seas.

I never knew I’d find a way

To make the currents cease.

                But water ebbs, and water flows

                It never comes to rest.

                It rises, falls; it comes and goes…

                What more can I attest?

They’ve taken me from hope and home

And forced me to obey

The waves of life: to walk and roam

And struggle, every day.

                And water tore my dreams apart;

                It made me lose my dreams…

                It crushed my girlish, fragile heart

                To fragments, so it seems.

But then it came that we have met;

My purpose I have found.

That day, on you my eyes were set…

And likewise, I was bound.

                And water led my fate to you:

                My love, my destiny…

                Within my soul, I felt… I knew

                That we were meant to be.

               

A/N: I was supposed to be writing a review for this. I ended up doing a poem instead.

Take a look at the clip on the side. It inspired me...

Really, I love that movie!
