If my mind was a river
You navigated her current expertly
But no one warned you
About the opening to the ocean

You're like fireflies in July
The air is thick
The night is dark
Your light mesmerizing me from where I stand
I'll try all night to catch up
Quietly moving through the dark
Waiting to see your glow beside me
But I'm too clumsy
And I am not quiet
And you're always five steps ahead

I found a seashell next to your picture today.
I'm not sure how it got out of its jar
I'd like to think you moved it there.
That was your way of letting me know everything's okay
And that it's been a while since I talked to you last

Today I will cry
For the you that I wanted
For the you that I saw
For the you that you are
For the you that I loved
