You Have Always Been the Sun
You have always been the sun
and I have always been dark waters
you are the light
and I am merely the reflection.
You loved the way you looked
when you saw yourself
through my watery eyes
the way I made you ripple.
You believed that when you left
that would be the end
of my light
that I would fold up, flatten.
But you see darling, the waters
can still find a colour
even without a light from without
you were always the sun
but all I've ever wanted
is to be the sea.
