sweet girl of mine,
when you remember what he did,
and weep tears of saltwater,
just remember the ocean inside you,
remember how you are made of waves,
the waves that tear apart ships,
and steal the breath of even the bravest sailors,
you are the current, you are the tide,
that shapes the land,
loved yet feared by all,
and you can never dry up the ocean,
for the rain you cry will bring it back.
