The Second Water

Sat down on the river bank Drinking in the mirrored sun Skipping choices till they sank What is real can't be outrun Skimmed the surface with your lips The reflection whirled And you heard the drifting past refer To the love there was for you And for her Sat down on the river bank Brushing the shimmering flow Dabbling in the here and now Life needs truth for it to grow Then you took a long sip And tasted the world And you sensed there was no going back to What was left behind for her And for you Sat down on the river bank Timing breaths of passing waves Floating with a future blank One move takes the life it saves And you went for the last dip Let the memories swirl And you felt washed away by what you knew By the second water for you two Or just you
