When the storms came
And the water rose
You said
“It’s only summer.”
And
When our mothers died
And I was 14
You said
“It’s only time passing by …”
When I left for school
I felt like such a fool
And I was scared to death
You said
“It’s only moving.”
But I moved out to see you
I left my jacket in the car
You left your cigarettes
On the table
Your lips
Tasted like smoke
And from your lungs
I breathed again
“It’s not the rain I’ve been drowning from It’s just living” I said
“Then this is just holding hands” you said
And we put our hands Palm
To Palm
And closed our eyes
we swayed
In the street
And we kissed
“This is just living…”
You said
And I smiled and laughed
While the bombs fell
“This is just loving.”
