We saw each other first
as you swam towards the light,
eyes wide, head up, swimming towards the light.
We see each other now
as you reach towards the light,
eyes wide, head up, reaching towards the light.
You take my hand in yours
as you walk towards the light,
eyes wide, head up, walking towards the light.
With newly limber limbs
you'll run towards the light,
eyes wide, head up, running towards the light.
Then spinning, laughing, free,
you'll vanish in the light,
eyes wide, head up, dissolving in the light.
I'll not forget you, then,
only thank you for the light,
eyes wide, head up, as I walk into the night.
