I want

I want a lot of things. 
I want good grades. 
I want a new phone. 
I want a new persona. 

 

But mostly,
I want you.
A value and precious piece of life. 

 

Sadly,
You're in the depths of the seven seas. 
I can't be Columbus and travel. 

And I certainly can't send someone.

They will steal you for themselves. 

 

Instead,
I'll wait for you 
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you to drift onto shore. 

 

It'll make sense to send you back.
But I can't. 
I'd rather hold onto you right and left. 
Losing you is like losing a piece of me. 
Too much to let go, 
And too little to be a big deal.
