And you didn't listen.

Reflection in the Water

Ever looked in the water and saw a reflection that wasn't you?

I knew when I took you to the river that day I'd regret it.

We were young, we were free, we were stupid. I was blinded.

I knew that you weren't the one for me, because I wasn't the one for you.

But I tried to hold on to you till you slipped away like the sand.

Sometimes I look through our old conversations and stare at the words you used.

You had phrases that I didn't notice I'd adopted till it was too late and I was wet.

I was drowning in you.

And I didn't know how to swim.
