I can swim the atlantic ocean
I can climb between mountains
I can feel the sensation of pain
I can hear the echoes of laughter
I can taste sour and sweet

I can run through the hot, blistering desserts
I can cry pools of water
I can listen to words and sounds
But there’s one thing I can’t do
I can’t walk away from you

© Julia K., Nagykovacsi, Hungary
