When I was a little girl
I wanted to be a mermaid
To have a tail as bright
As the dream itself
To swim as deep asMy ignorant heart wanted
Deep enough to see the
unseeableDeep enough to reach the
unreachableTo be able to find all the lost pieces
Of someone else's heart
Deep enough to find someone to
Find mine.When I was a little girl
I saw a mermaid
Her tail the perfect shade of blue
A perfect match.She swam as deep
As her beating heart wantedWashed deep into the waters
Deep enough not to return
Never again
Never again
I saw the mermaid with a tail
The perfect shade of blueI thought about her everyday
Everyday spent with too much landDid she find all her pieces?
Did someone find hers?I sat wondering
Dreaming
Looking out on the place
She decied to dive
Water calm and beautiful
But only surface deepWhen I was a little girl
I became a mermaid
A tail the shade of possibilities
A beautiful deep red
A dream came true
Forever I swam just on top
On top of the worldThen one day I decide
Decided to swimAs deep
as my tiny heart wanted
I fell in love.
With the water and mystery
With him.
I never once consider going back
I was in love
And it was the best feeling in the
WorldFor once
I was my own fairytail
I swam in the pages of myth
Hoping to never be rewrittenI swam so far into
My day dreams
Of his kisses and voice
Like silk
So far
I couldn't seeCouldn't see
The exhaustion
That came with holding your
Breath for so long
The arguments that seem to
Never end
I forgot where they startedBut I still swam farther
Committed into
Seriousness
I knew his every move
And he new mine
Pieces found
With no more hidding spots
No mystery to love
No reason not toWith every dive
Thoughts of the surface
And those gaints waves
Came flooding backJust like that mermaid
Never didI started to drown
In memories of love
And
breathe love made of memoriesHead over heels
Love a little too deep
Far to deep to go back
Far to deep to start over
Far to deep to waste time
Far to deep to not stayWhen I was a little girl
I fell in love
Completely in love
A dream come trueWhen I was a little girl
I swam too deep
And was to afraid to ever swim back.Inspiration: friends relationship
