water snakes and other reptiles

I was pride

and something was worrying me 

you would be the fall

I didn't know how to tell you 

anything at all

If the only way I could inspire you was from a distance
would you still want me near?

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird"

What if I'm not a bird?

"I can hear you sing."

Sweet and Salty

If you are the sea
I shall be a boat
that rides the waves
and braves the storm

If you are the sea
I shall be the sky
that always touches you
always covering you

If you are the sea
I shall be an octopus
that settles in the deep
keenly watching the life within

If you are the sea
I shall be toes
that dance and leap
and test the waters
