Saltwater

Last Saturday I visited the ocean

And pretended I wasn’t cold

Now I can’t fake the bubbliness

I’ve to admit, saltwater is delicious

Why do you have to be

Oceans away from me

When I need you the most?

A single word could make my day

Or even just your face

This isn’t one of those songs

Where I complain about my life

Or how I can’t breathe

Or why I can’t see

I’m better than that

I’mma replace that

With a box of my saltwater tears

Why do we have to be

So unable to speak?

Decipher my telepathy

In this strange land

Someday my velleity

Will start a well of these memories

The box will be dry

I won’t have to cry

In my box of saltwater tears
