my love was like the rain

remember when you said

my love was like the rain

not the sweet sound after the drought

but the pain of it hard on your back in a storm

remember when you said

my love was like the sea

not a big pool in a tropical

you said i had the arctic inside of me

remember when you said

my love was like a rose

not the sweet bloom

but the pain as it scratches your hand

remember when you said

my love was like the sky

not the big blue

but the unknown black

so i embodied these elements

so i embodied these elements

i wear them like a fragrance

remember when you said

i'm a wildfire in the wind

not the hot coals in december

remember when you said

i'm a lily in the spring

so sad but so beautiful

remember when you said

my love was like the rain

not the sweet sound after the drought

but the pain of it hard on your back in the storm

so i embodied these elements

so i embodied these elements

i wear them like a fragrance

so i embodied these elements

so i embodied these elements

i wear them like a fragrance
