Young at heart
It wasn't serious
Laughs were swapped
Like loose change over a counter top
Looking at myself
I no longer hated
The image that was reflected back at me
Off of the waters glass surface
Because I saw you
I loved seeing you
And you loved seeing me
Because seeing you
Was like seeing home
Until once upon a day
I stared back at myself
Twas not you
Soon after
Twas not I either
Your love wasn't always unconditional
Or provided
But when it came to my love
Anything was fixable
With my driftwood heart
Floating by on the ripples
The after effects of your smile
A pebble dropping into the sound that was your laugh
I studied it
So meticously
I went over every fine line
Every grain of sand
Crooked fingers
Crooked smile
Broken to the bit of your smile
Casting you a crown
From the moons own rays
Lost at sea now
Stars waltzing around me
Trails of nebulas
I'm glad your happy
Because looking at you
I see all of the mistakes I made
That were veiled
Because I was too intoxicated
Too high on loving you
Too ADDICTED to the sight of you
Now with my glacier eyes
I see where I went wrong
I see where I sunk
And now
I see where I rise too
Thank you
