Drifting

Drifting

I can feel us drifting and it makes me sad
It's just a part of life I tell myself.
It's just a normality I tell myself.
But it sure feels empty

It's like when we were kids
Swimming in the ocean
together with our separate floaty-boats
The waves could pull us apart in no time

I look left and right,
The waves have caused me to drift
And I see you so far away
When just a moment ago you were at my side

And that's how life works
Next time, I tell myself
I'll grab onto the strings of your floaty-boat
To make sure we stay close
