Water Skiing at Miramar
Every Sunday they would play, dancing on water,
Skidding across the ripples, and climbing up together
Two skiers fall in love, I for her,
And she for another, a friend to both.
Coveting what we wished was ours.
Idly on the shore I stood
Where The water cooled my feet
Watching how she watched,
how she chased
with a smile, I'd have given anything to make.
When the object of her eye, fell
Hard into angels' arms,
And nineteen turns around the sun
Was all that he would have
She cried, and her tears broke my heart
We both lost a friend that day,
But what hurt me most
Was how I knew she'd have never cried like that
If it had been me who fell
And so inside I said, I wish I could have traded fates
So for once I'd have made her smile stay
I'd love feedback
