I went down to my river,
Just moments ago,
And I didn't even shiver,
As I watched the waves go
Crashing over into me,
Reaching out that cold hand
I took out of necessity,
Knowing I couldn't just stand,
No, not anymore,
I had to swim,
Instead of wading by the shore.
It wasn't so grim
As I once thought,
No it was quite nice,
I'm not sure why I fought...
Perhaps it was their advice...?
Yes, this must be okay
Because it feels good.
I never want to go away,
Though I probably should...
Should I?
Should I leave?
I can't look you in the eye,
Knowing what I'll receive...
Don't worry...
I don't think I'll drown,
But I'm not in a hurry
To go back, though you frown.
You know why I'm here-
You know
I'm just escaping fear...
Please don't go...
Pull me out
Of this river so cold,
Though I pout
Becoming dangerously bold...
Never mind.
Just leave me alone...
Leave me behind
Along the banks of this river I've known-
This river becoming home
Because I'll always return,
Even if I try to roam...
This is the water for which I yearn.
