Water
Water
Our relationship started by the water – a river.
The current wasn’t always strong but steady at that time
However, we acquired our strength to move on from each other.
Just like the water -- it came and went and came again.
Our lives have been changed with every experience we have encountered
In our arms, out of our arms and back to them.
Yet they remain the same – the yearning to be together
Our relationship traveled by the water – a sea
The sway of the boat, the breeze from the ocean
However, we let that piece of sand drift between our fingers.
Just like the water -- it came and went and came back again.
Our lives have been changed with unattainable expectations
In our arms, out of our arms and back to them.
Yet they remain the same – the yearning to be together
Our relationship drowned by the water – a cry
The rain that fell broke our hopes and dreams
However, the blue sky and the wispy clouds did resurface
Just like the water – it came and went and came again.
Our lives have been changed with every drop of the fall dew
In our arms, out of our arms and back to them.
Yet they remain the same – the yearning to be together
Our relationship dissolved by the water – a blessing
The tears flowed as impossibilities were sketched on paper
However, our unattainable love survived the laws of man
Just like the water – it came and went and came again.
Our lives have been changed, challenged and rediscovered
In our arms, out of our arms and back to them.
Yet they remain the same – the yearning to be together
Our relationship flourished by the water – a kiss
The hope of miracles lies within our reunion
However, the mystery of the new possibilities will remain fluid
Just like the water – to come and go and come again.
