WALK ON WATER

I would cast out my anchor,

And hurl my wretched body over this railing.

I would walk on water,

If I thought I could,

Just to be able to close the gap

Between your ship and mine.



But I can't walk on water.

I would just drown.

Would you try to save me

As I pull you down?



And I would do my best swan dive

And plunge into

The deep blue sea.

I would do anything

Just to have you here with me.



But I can't walk on water.

I would just sink.

But it would be

Well worth it,I think.

I wrote this when Tim joined the Navy,and it was also partly inspired by an Ani DiFranco song,Swan Dive.
