INTO THE SUDDEN CHANGE

The ship has sailed.

I didn't know I was boarding it.

I just found myself aboard.

I let go of the ropes I had to the land.

As everything I longed to see started to get smaller in the distance.

I told my heart not to speak.

This is not the time for any of its words.

I want to be brave.

It's a choice, that I want to make.

I want to let that pride go.

Give it up with all the stress and anxiety that it has brought.

So much more has gone with that trade.

Much more than I bargained for.

 

Did I really know love?

Or was it all imagined in my mind?

I only see water everywhere around me.

The tide and high waves speak volumes,

to any thoughts or attempts to fight.

Now, all is lost, all is gone.

I can keep what I carry, like I have always done.

It is that time, to move on.

My poor heart, you will have to break in silence.

We can both cry together later,

when the waters have quieted down.

Today, we're still trying to give up.

Tomorrow, after a good night of sleep and rest,

we will find peace, and we will accept.

I'll get to go through what I carried,

and to the sea, a lot more of it, will be lost.

I have magic within me.

The waters and moon will let it grow.

My heart, we will travel the universe, 

and its wonders, will wipe your tears, and heal your scars.

The sweet surrender, with some trust now, will be ours.

We're bound to run into land again.

It's time to get some rest while we can.
