I always wondered if I could give
Enough love for a woman to live on
But as I grow, as I learn and live,
I find it’s best to forget and forgive.
I could be dancing on the ocean.
I could be singing to the sea.
But I am poetry in motion.
I’m yours!

When I was young I was so filled with love,
Jealousy stung but never deep enough
‘Cause I feel rain falling from above.
I only thirst for your to share my cup.

I could be dancing on the ocean.
I could be singing to the sea.
But I am poetry in motion.
I’m yours, people. Take me.
