circa 2012

They say if you love someone fight for them.

If you were a fish and I wanted  you
I wouldn’t hold you
keep you
Make you hold your breath and
keep you out of water

If you were a fish and I wanted to be you
I wouldn’t cut gills in my neck so I could
breathe like you

If you were a fish and I wanted to be with you
I would jump in the water
And even if you needed to, wanted to leave anyway
at least I learned how to swim.
