Floodgates

Open the floodgates to your heart,

and feel all the world around you.

There’s only one of you, and one of her—

so treat her like the work of art she truly is,

and let her help you find your truth.

It is purely beauty that you will find in her,

and happiness there, in each corner of her smile.

You will walk alongside her, and you’ll keep each other safe,

and you’ll find happiness within each other,

even if you’re only in this world for just a short while.

It doesn’t take much to tell the world that you love her.

And more importantly, it doesn’t take much to be kind.

You are Heaven—and you walk with the Earth through Hell.

You’re everything to each other, and more…

but it seems you’ve lost each other, passing like parallel lines.

It’s not forever. You’re not parallel lines.

You will open the floodgates and cross over to her,

and you will show the world that she means something to you,

because it’s the least you could do.

Open the floodgates, so that you may once again

be together—you and her, the Earth.
