where you land

I am still caught in your wake

as I'm sure you are left in mine

we were but stones skipping

across thrashing waters

never meant to flow smoothly

but to sink in separate places

you upon the ocean floor

where one day fate will push

you back to the shores

and I in some forgotten pond

still and shallow but

forever I shall remain whole

and while you mold yourself

back together, you will never

be made the same again

but for I who may still

be submerged, when the

water dries naturally

from someone else's sun

I will still be who I once was
