Swept by High Seas

Dear love on the high seas, drift away and be swept away by the winds and tides.
May the force of the seas bring you to friendly shores, May you find joy in the islands you visit.
But don't return, leave and never come back, not even a glace to this past
Drift away and be swept away by the winds and tides, like a bottle carrying a message
But remember my deeds, remember the man I tried and failed to be.
For I as young and as foolish as I were, I tried my best bitterly not good enough
My best will be better, the man I am now will be shadowed by who I will one day become
So, I bid you farewell, you're just a chapter, a meant to be but never was
Twas a many great weeks of my life sharing and just talking
One I will hold on to in the coming many cold nights and harsh days
but I bid you farewell, for you're just a chapter, never was but meant to be
Our eyes will never meet again for you're a poison which I desire but could never drink
Dear love, remember my deeds and the man I failed but tried pathetically to be
Perhaps someday, in a land far far away from this shore, I'll hear of your tale
But please, have a man who is far better than who I am,
For the prettiest of pearls only deserves the prettiest of maidens.
