ode to that girl

So you like solitude too?
We seem like similar souls.
I bet you’re uncomfortable with your body
And you feel you aren’t living up to your potential
And you like to read books that make you look smart.
I want to go ask you,
To see if you want to share your serenity
But that would debase both of our natures.
I wonder what you’re reading,
And why you’re in your swimsuit in the shade.
Do you adore the feel of the breeze and sun and earth on your skin too?
I think we’re the same.
Too bad I can’t ask.
