Before I Met You

I sat on a beach and declared
I would do what I wanted.


Then I looked out at a lighthouse

and imagined two people in love,

one on shore, one at sea.


They drifted together.


My wanting came from wanting

to find out what it was like

to stay,

anchored to another,

a person I didn't want

to take my eyes from.


By whom in doing right by me,

I would do best for both of us.


I wanted something more.





(...and that's copyright, fools.)
