Skipping Stones
Love soars
Like a rock being skipped
Across uneven waters
The energy drains with every fall
The rock takes
Until
Finally
The momentum dies
And drowns the hopes
Of ever seeing it again
Love is like a skipping stone
If you throw too hard
You'll have one glorious leap
That immediately end in tragedy
If you throw lightly
The distance and the leaps
Seem to last forever
Leaving you heartbroken
With victory
Love is like skipping stones
It never lasts on the surface
But you know it's still lying there
Deep underneath the tides
Of memories and sorrows
Every rock thrown
You think you'll do a little better
Get a little farther
Rocks can't grow wings
The problem is
People are so focused
On skipping stones
That they forget
To hold them first
