What if we were fish in love?

Swimming around each other in circles,

Down the rapid currents, flying ahead of all the others

Blinding them by the sights of us?

In our flashy colors, but not enough to sink into their minds

I think we were fish in love

I loved following you where ever the waters took us 

Bubbles left a trail behind me as I followed

Up and over the colorful orange reefs

Into the darken caves that we weren’t supposed to wander

Seeing your eyes lighten in beautiful hues, seeing the world around you

Seeing it brightened my face looking at you.

And I would gladly do it all again if given the chance

Because we were fish in love

Though, it wasn’t meant to last

I wanted it to last a lifetime.

When each time we died we come back,

Somehow- some way we would be together once again 

But you didn’t follow my bubbled tail to find me,

But another

Because we were fish in love

Never made to last.

Fish have short life spans- and that was our "love" too short.
