You once ran free Over all the hills And through all the trees To the place Where a beautiful waterfall was flowing She was so soothing And her crystal was sparkling in your eyes So you jumped right in Like any young boy would But it changed That beautiful waterfall She was so fierce Pounding you down to the bottom Again and again So that you couldn’t do anything It hurt so much But somehow you got out And you swam onto a rock There you were Standing on a rock In the middle of a stream Just looking at the waterfall Trying to understand I could feel your toes shivering But I didn’t know if you were cold Or just confused That didn’t matter much though I felt anything for the first time that day And I wanted to take you far away Make your eyes sparkle again But I couldn’t Too soon you were running the other way Through all the other trees And over all the hills And I was left there Wading in the cold crystal That drained down from the waterfall Suddenly She wasn’t so beautiful any longerBirth sign: Leo
