We splashed in puddles of laughter.
Water chilled our bones,
Made us forget we were alone
Until we parted and went home.
That was painfully long ago.
We’ve drifted to other worlds
Filled with the familiar bliss of chaos.
Your address is still written on my heart,
But you’ve long since departed.
It’s like I’m watching you
From beneath the surface of black water.
And I can’t trace your face
Behind the dark waves.
Every crash washes you further from me.
As the current draws in,
You flow out
Away
Distant
Gone.

We splashed in puddles of laughter.
Water chilled our bones,
Made us forget we were alone
Until we parted and went home.
That was painfully long ago.
We’ve drifted to other worlds
Filled with the familiar bliss of chaos.
Your address is still written on my heart,
But you’ve long since departed.
It’s like I’m watching you
From beneath the surface of black water.
And I can’t trace your face
Behind the dark waves.
Every crash washes you further from me.
As the current draws in,
You flow out
Away
Distant
Gone.
