Should have stayed away from the water
Should have taken the high road, dusty and dry
I should have known myself a bit better
Than to think I could dip my toes without getting wet
She said, come with me to the water
I can ease your worries in a different way
Come with me and I will show you
How good your life can be if you just let go
Come with me in the water
Let me help you wash those feeble objections away
She said
She slipped out of my arms
She slipped out of my embrace
She slipped out of my hands, out of my grasp
She floated away from the light
She slipped out of my sight
She slipped out of my mind
She slipped out of my thoughts
Into the past
She faded out of my life
