Coral is insignificant, to only you and me
But so much good it does for you,
only through the sea

He noticed coral, dead from stress
The way that corals do
He picked apart to find the best
Revealing what is true

I like to think I am a coral
Found by you, you see,
You think that I am beautiful
You notice distantly

I was made aware that you cared
You started showing too
Whenever i just think about you
Maybe i turn blue

My baby hairs, you noticed them
Told me they were cute
You treated me like I’m a gem
no matter my offshoot

A young sweet mermaid, locked in here
A silent, subtle cheer
Waiting here for a new heart
you were my new start
