Nights grow darker
days get longer
trees reach higher
And the seas sink deeper
and deeper
deeper
and all this time I'm feeling
that maybe I missed something along the way.
or maybe I just miss you.
Because everyone here is falling in love with fish
but I'm afraid I fell in love with the sea.
Because it was the only thing that pulled back when I went fishing.
And I could've sworn I heard the moon laughing at me
Because of how foolish it is to feel this way.
But I just sat and laughed with him
Because I knew he meant no harm by it
And I could tell the sea was smiling
By how gently it rose
And how soft it called
And when the sun came up
He was glad to see I had made it through the
Darkest of nights
And the longest of days
And the trees were happy to know that I had grown taller
And the sea was happy
To feel that I had fallen deeper
And deeper
Deeper
In love.
