The shape of you
.avif)
You, were the perfect drop of rain on my fingertip,
I stay still so as to make you stay longer
But alas!
You are the very form of water itself,
I couldn't stop you from flowing in your own rhythm,
You were meant to flow,
From that drop of water in the ocean,
To the moist air in the clouds,
And then descend as rain,
As if to quench the thirst of the earth
Who waited for you to fall upon for an eternity
And went through those cold winter nights,
those hot summer afternoons
Knowing where she'd finally meet you,
You would meet her where everyone saw you fall and her, glow
As if a young girl thinking of her lover,
But you are you and she couldn't stop you either
So you flow back into the ocean with a whisper of promise
that after all that.
you will come back again,
You take a piece of her with you
And she,
Waits......
