Make it a part ocean spray
I promise to learn how to swim by then
Until then, give me just a tinge of you
Just kiss sweetened salt to taste.
If I could fall in love again
Make it a part these winter skies
I don't care whether it's day or night
Hours and years spent at them
I still do not recognize. I know love
you offer help, but I'll get by.
If I could fall in love again
I'll keep a roll of band-aids close
and check the temperature of water tap
and try to love you step-by-step.
If all fails, I can always write another one of these and can only hope that my ink isn't yet dry
