Simple and sweet,
spry as a young finch can fly
You were mine
once upon a time

I wove the story of our love,
a tapestral tale of two puzzle hearts
who couldn’t bear at all to be apart
You’d ask me questions
I’d be glad to receive them
You had your secrets
but no one to perceive them
Simple and sweet was no easy feat
The most inconvenient moment to meet
They say falling fast means it will not last
I didn’t mind;
I had plenty of time

You made me feel small,
And small felt safe
And safe felt right,
And right shouldn’t change
So change was impossible
Impossible, you say?
Let me count the ways

When I was a child,
my mind was a dream
My schema was riddled
but my spirit serene
You call me turbulent,
like water in the locks,
like Pandora’s box
There was one who loved me
before all these talks
He is gone, You are here
Now the meek shall inherit
And I cannot fly
You knew I was strange
But now you ask why
