Your garbage will be another mans gold

You might never fully understand what you just lost. 

But you should try. Because it was a lot

And in the end it will be you who loses

For failing to take chances

On things that could be beautiful

And nothing will flourish in life

Without a little work

Or fall into your lap

If you don't take time to float first 

Through waters of unknown

And oceans of time

My seas are soft and safer 

Than any other kind

And if you were honest

You would know better by now

Because I opened my gates

And let you in somehow

And you stayed here awhile

To test out my tides

But got cold feet 

So swam back outside

And suddenly you were gone 

Simple as that

As quickly as you came

You were taken back

Made your choice

You took a risk and left me behind

And the outcome of that 

Might need some time in your mind

Before it takes a form of reality 

And finds a place in your life

But a moment will come

Of that I am sure

When you regret paddling away 

And not closer towards

The scariest and safest moments of all
To a heart that is warm
And a place to always fall

And you might be someone in this world

But I am someone too

I'm the one you let go

The girl you stepped right through

And this is it

What you have to live with now

Knowing you threw 

Such a unique bond out

What you had in us

You might never find again

And if you're okay with that

You weren't worthy of me to begin
