Nov 2011
Bluer than the Atlantic
Colder than its depths
Your eyes more or less windows
Closed shutters you've always kept
Swimming inside them I grew gills
I failed to see I evolved too fast
Breathing in nothing but you
But time is needed to make a good love last
Changes like that shouldn't happen over night
Now we're more or less strangers with feelings of deja vu
I loved you many times before
Now you're something new
I couldn't take that step
Afraid to dive from these heights
Your water is inviting
But I can't shake my frights
Fears of creatures in the depths
Or giant sharp rocks
Your ocean is one of brilliance
With tides that don't stop
Maybe I can avoid the plunge
Stick a toe or two in
One thing I am certain
These waters will win
