Now that I'm older
I smile much more
because I find it funny
that with all the independence you proclaim,
you stand still
At the edge, after the first step
where love turns into a sewery moat,
you wait
for me to throw down my jacket,
and help you over,
serve as a life preserver,
that difficult knot, you can't swim
only because you refuse
to try
to see. if I'll rescue you
