Floating
Let me float about
Till the sun descends.
Let me travel free
Till we meet our ends.
Let me breathe in your waters.
Oh please—just one more time.
I want to be free once more
Away from all this grime.
Though I am unable
To breathe this atmosphere,
I would love to spin about
And swim till the night is here.
Sometimes I wish I could go
And live before the waves.
But then soon I would find out
I'll set you in your grave.
More than I need water,
You need me by your side.
More than honeysuckle,
You're sweeter than the tide.
Someday you will realize
Why I feel so alone,
But, till then, I have you
Even if by a phone.
