You are like a lonely island
I’m a ship, out in the sea.
I wait and wait till you get closer;
wait for you to come to me.

You are like a vague novella
you’re a deep dark mystery.
I am like an avid reader
discovering your true story.

You are like a soft concerto
I’m an old Led Zeppelin song.
I guess I’m a music critic
Listening to you all night long.

You are like a brilliant teacher
passing all you know to me.
I’m your dedicated student
taking notes consistently.

You are like a dim library
I’m a loud, bright concert hall.
You are full of information;
Interesting after all.

You are like a rainy evening,
I’m a sunny afternoon.
You house books and tea and blankets,
I sing August’s carefree tune.
