Kuro

We both had discount tickets

For two sinking boats

And when they crashed against the rocks

We helped each other float

 

We both had cuts and burns

From which we both would learn

Our talks sheltered me from harm

And my heart sounded the alarm

 

But I didn\'t think it was true

Since my eyes weren\'t set on you

And then out of the blue

You found Boat Number 2

 

I shrugged it off and moved

Looked for my own boat too

A whole year passed and then

Your boat got wrecked again

 

We caught a film with none of this in mind

Simply just to pass the time

But it was such a cute film we saw

I saw your smile in shock and awe

 

The film\'s message is something we both felt

In the way the colours would make us melt

You said it was something, you don\'t know

Maybe a new boat starting to row

 

But I just wasn\'t ready

I just wasn\'t there yet

I didn\'t know what I wanted

I should have known what I would get

 

Your yellow raincoat

Your pretty kitten smile

I hug you at the dock

 

And you set sail again
