How ironic is it
That the fish would fall in love
With her enemy the albatross?
Let your imaginations run wild on this side of reality
How ironic is it
That the fish would fall in love
With her enemy the albatross?
She was fine being alone.
She was never fine with being abandoned.
She is grounded, rooted into the earth,
Pushing through the struggles of life;
But she always stretches
Her arms to the sky,
Trying to embrace the wind,
To grab and pull herself into the clouds
That he suns himself upon all day long.
She knew that he
Could never be controlled.
Just as a cloud floating freely
Across the vast sky.
We walked down a sunny road
With spring throughout the air
But my mind was in darker thoughts.
I looked over at him; talented, smart and cool
His aura overwhelming mine.
How can he be so amazing?
I explained to him what was in my head.
“Everyone I meet is more talented than me;
Actors, musicians, writers, poets,
For their next work is the world waiting.
Everyone I meet is cooler than me;
Talkative, friendly, easy-going,
With splendid tricks up their sleeve.
Everyone I know is smarter than me;
Scientists, math whizzes, inventors,
They are overflowing with creativity.
What could have possibly gone wrong with me?
Talent-less, foolish, idiot;
Why is everyone so far ahead of me?”
He then turned and said to me,
“Are they truly all that cool, so smart, very talented?
I will tell you what I truly believe.
All these things you mentioned,
Are only relative to whom is seeing.
If only you could see what I see in you,
Then you would finally believe.”
Come, snuggle a little deeper
Into my love.
Whether you need a hug,
Or a back rub.
Do you need to eat?
Or do you need a hot bath?
Perhaps a cup of tea,
Or a little nap?
Darling, whatever it is
That you want or need;
I’m always waiting, dear lover
Just call for me!
She just wanted your love,
Not to join the competition, you know:
But she saw that you were an open market,
And that’s why she let you go.
