Happiest Choice

*****

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

Crouching on a thin pier

Drown out the fear

Skim along the water edge

Love, don’t you dare jump off the ledge

I want to hear the musicality of your voice

I want to be your best and happiest choice

When passing smiling ships flash by

Remind me why

You cherish my very core and soul

I sometimes worry I take a tired toll

Tell me that I’m not too much for you to handle

I fidget my foot in my sandal

The sun touches the top of my head

And I say goodbye for now as it feels like enough has been said
