The Moon and the Sea
I’m a girl from the moon and you’re a boy from the sea.
Show me yours and I’ll show you mine.
Most days, I feel nothing. Every once in a while, I feel everything.
I don’t know which is worse: starring down from the moon wanting everything or trying not to
drown in the sea, wanting to be saved from it all.
