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
