We Are Birds...

I was here before, the Earth built around me. It fell down the same way.
Twilight settled in the corners of my mind. The next day, under sleep, the dawn waited to greet me.
If you're in the water too long your hands give you a glimpse of age, all you hope is that your thoughts will still be with you when that time comes. 
That night the ocean took me back, there were no gaps between my skin and its body, we were as close as we could be. 
If everything left, the Earth would still be with me, memories of our nights together could never be erased. 
Even if your mind runs vacant you still remember what it's like to touch and if your memory fails you, I'll let you hold my hand again.
So, on this road there was no path. The rain filled up my footprints, but you could still see where I was walking because you were right behind. 
The ground was kind to me, it let me walk where I wished. The fields showed me love, kissing my legs with their reeds. I was in every moment, the world had its arm around me and life was my best friend.
So, I'll close my eyes right here, even though it's hard to leave such beauty and I'll dream that you're close enough for me to touch your face and remember what it's like to kiss you.
