The Longing and the Fishes
I thought I saw you this summer
when I was visiting an aquarium
I saw your tall, beautiful back
and your slightly awkward arms
I watched as you stared
at the tank of beautiful fishes
I watched the reflection of your eyes
on the smooth glass
Your dark eyes were glancing at the fishes
tons and tons of beautiful fishes
They made you smile,
And the reflection of your smile made me smile as well
Oh how I wanted to feel your arms around me
and for you to look into my soul
There were so many things I wanted to say
and so many confessions to admit
But it wasn't you
it wasn't you at all
He was a double for me,
but I was nothing for him
He looked at me once
and then his eyes went back to the fishes
