send them back

 If you weren't such a dreamer,

and if you weren't as far away as     I

this distance would be physical
and I wouldn't think twice about
seeing you go,
knowing I'd see you again.

But when I float the open seas
and when  I                                   miss
every opportunity to hoist

the memories I have collected
from the water and show              you,
it only reminds me that this
distance has cracked our lives
and nested inside our minds,

and in the end it's just best 

to send them back to sea.
