Who She Truly Was

I gave her a life jacket to get on my boat with me And I bought her a passport to travel the country, But, now she sails soap in the bathtub and not the sea She also travels the nearby roads, with the same company. I truly thought that my journeys would be her and I Together on a boat on the water, or in a plane in the sky, I now travel all alone and I still wonder why Was I being used, or was she just a lie. I bought her new clothes so she and I could go out I took her to the finest restaurants without a single doubt, Her on my arm I wanted to proudly show off and shout Now, I wish that I had taken a different route. I wanted to take her to the castles of mysterious Scotland In Tokyo I wanted to shop with her while holding her hand, I wanted to see her footprints in the Spanish sand And on the beaches of Fiji, I wanted to see her skin tanned. I wanted to proudly show her the whole wide world abuzz I wanted to show her adventures with wonderment and love, Everything that I wanted to show her was just because; But, then she showed me herself, and who she truly was.
