perhaps i was once a fish
that could also breathe on land
even if sometimes i meet others
who donβt understand how i feel
i donβt mind
would swimming in the water
feel like soaring the skies?
perhaps you were once
a free-flying bird
resting only briefly on land
even if someday i leave you
and vanish somewhere
donβt you fret
before i go, iβll engrave a small tattoo
so that you can find me right away
maybe weβre in fact
a little different from others
perhaps next we will become
small, warm candlelight
unwavering in the wildest of winds
perhaps one day
the water will dry up
and i will struggle to breathe
then, i may return alone
wishing i had never left
youβre the only one
who needs to recognise me
please remember
this complex language of mine
and my feelings no one else can understand
