Dec 2012
I told you under the warm sun how awkward I am
I screamed that I can't flirt, the waves washing at our feet
I wallowed in the fact that I make any situation painfully awkward
In a confusing reply, you nodded your head
Proceeded to talk to me
Gave me that false grin that lied when it said "I can fix that"
Made me fall for you while you whispered everything the world had done wrong
Described in extreme detail on how you yourself would make it more beautiful
Then you kissed me
That world that hurt us both, now far away
Things were going to be okay

That was months ago
The snow has replaced the warm air
The waves now frozen
They too wish it never ended
What they don't know, is that people are like continents
Slowly moving farther apart from the day they meet
All I can do is keep telling the ocean that it's okay
She drinks from his mountain springs now
The same springs that poisoned her
While I roam freedom
It's okay, ocean
I'm okay
