Isn’t it funny how some paths just stumble across each other?
Like a rock that is skipped across a river and happens to sink onto a bed of gold,
That’s what it felt like when you entered my life.
Like I had been jumping and skidding across the surface,
And right when I thought I found my footing and who I was,
I sank and saw your glittering light.
And as I sunk closer to your shine, I began to think of your glow all the time.
And your existence was so full of life.
You got to see fish swim by and rocks die.
You got to be beautiful even if the world didn’t see you,
Always glowing bright in the simple fact that you were you.
And finally when I landed on your soft shine,
I felt like everything would be fine,
Even if you would never be mine.
