Best Friends

we owned the world quietly
rooftops at night
sea by morning
floating in each other's company

and there were people, of course
telling us we resembled
two mated penguins; a pair of mandarin ducks
but we refused to believe

until the day you left
so cold and dry was my mind
cracked along the surface;
damaged in the depths
when would you come back?

so people come and go
not quite you
still in the shallow pits of my aching heart
i longed for you to be found

how great was the day
i ran into your arms again
cool water and rooftop nights remembered
i was floating, floating, floating

i was seeing you with brand new eyes
