A Drop In The Ocean

WORDS:

Sitting here in an ash heap of guilt,
I earned truing to awaken love.

I am an ocean upheaving,
and you, a cloud of rain.

I thought your response will brighten my day
but we seem to mirror away from each other.

My questions are: what does he now think of me?
Now that a drop in the ocean has painted the sea.

My questions are: what does he now think of me?
I should have left it and let it be.

I still can’t help but think what does he think of me?

This should have been a drop in the ocean but it has painted the sea.
And I can’t understand how never will never be a you and me.

Why does a drop in the ocean have to paint the sea?
All I wanted was for you to reach out to me.

This should have been a drop in the ocean but it has painted the sea.

But its okay, I’m learning to let things be.

I know sometimes a drop in the ocean does really paint the sea.
