One day,
You'll meet someone
As kind as you are
But just as cruel, too.

I know her
She has long black hair with soft waves
I know she loves her face now
it looks healthier.

She is smiling
More sincerely than yesterday
The weight has lifted
Because she finally let go of what she once held too tight.

I know her
The woman in my mirror
Has committed to living in peace
Happiness will be the bonus
And I love her more than yesterday
Even more so tomorrow than today.

Trust me
Or maybe don’t.

He will love you,
Cook you a meal laced with warmth
Wrap you in the kindest embrace
Call you his queen
His sweetest love.
And soon, you’ll believe
He is the one.

But love,
There is a shadow trailing him.
Perhaps he loves you
But he also loves the thrill
The rush of fleeting hands
Whispers not yet familiar
Sparks I never knew.

He says,
"I never meant to hurt anyone."
Yet somehow
He always does.

Is it possible that one day,
you call my name by accident?
Is it possible, on a quiet night,
you miss me, even for a moment?

I wish we never met
Even if fate led us there.
I wish we never talked
Even if the words came easy.
I wish we let silence win
Even if the conversation pulled us in.
I wish we never saw the signs
Even if they glowed so bright.
I wish we never felt that spark
Even if it burned so right.

But everything happened
And still, I wish I could turn back time
Even if I would never know you at all.

I love it here
Where the shore meets the endless blue
My eyes linger on your beauty
My ear surrenders to the whisper of your waves
My heart drifts, waiting
When will you call me back?

But wait,
Are you the sea?
Or the love I cannot name?
