we become easily broken when the water hits us
at just the right altitude
and you were always afraid to fly.

the way we become a hydrogen bond is something
scientists haven't quite mastered;
we're weak, baby. we have always been weak.

tossing the water we no longer need is a ritual
we'll tell our children some day and we
will take them with us as we climb but you'll
break away half-way through
and i won't ask you to come back.

the weaker you become, the better i am
and i don't feel like apologizing for it anymore.

we became the wrong direction soulmates take
and really one of us should have realized it
before we ever woke up.
