The Deep Blue Sea

We wanted to be Marine Biologists, you and me

Now that you're gone, ocean documentaries

is the only thing that puts me to sleep

You swam almost at birth, with no fear of the water

Our parents say you taught yourself how to swim on a trip to be the beach

Scaring mom half to death, you sprinted into the sea

At home, you insisted Daddy carry you around in a bucket of water.

At parties, you'd dives in pools, fully clothed.

How I wish I were you. How I wish I could be so bold.

I would watch you from the shore or clutching the edges of the pool

while you explored bodies of water and the deep blue sea

Remember all the times you saved, Erika from drowning?

Deep down in the ocean blue is where I find you

Everything that we wanted to be is now lost at sea

I can't swim anyway. Your bravery, I lacked

But I'd dive head first into the Bermuda Triangle

if it would bring you back
