Katie Melua - If You Were A Sailboat
Last year this time we were planing how our life would have change in a year or so. Much have changed but we are still far from the goals we've set, far yet so close...
Guess all we have to do is to keep believing in the dreams we shared, we still share them after all. One day soon...very soon I hope... will become a reality.
Last year this time we walked down a sandy beach while the cool wind from the sea caressed our faces warmed by the soft sun of May. Our heart beating fast like a steam engine trying to catch up our breath as we reached the shore...and feel the cold waters upon our feet.
I remember it all as if it was only yesterday. Spent hours looking at a sailing boat gently rocking in the sea. And we wondered how it would feel to be a sail-boat and wander from shore to shore. Wouldn't it be lovely?...
I remember the cold waters on our naked feet as we ran all the way back acting like kids again, or perhaps cause I fell in love again in that very moment...and yet again time seemed to have stopped.
Thought it would have been a day just like every other ordinary day..walking silently along the sea hand in hand, perhaps...not uttering any word, letting a smile..a smirk transmit our feelings.
Wouldn't it be lovely...if we could sit again on the same moist red sand sharing the beach with no one. And wouldn't it be lovely to find again the memories we left behind...I dearly keep these images of us, the beach, and that calm sail-boat almost enchanting on that perfect day.
If you were a sail-boat I'll sail you to the same safe shore, I'll sail you safe through the storms. Not afraid of the high waves and the violent winds as they will blow me to this enchanted place, making me forget what we have just been through. I don't mind as long I'll have you.
We soon had to go, the day got fast short, and we were no longer alone. But just before we turned our back, a last stare, waved goodbye to that sail-boat promised we be back again to that very same shore, perhaps on another perfect day...
For the words I never say, the feelings many times I don't show.
Bust just because I don't shout them out to the entire world it doesn't mean I don't love you...
Thank you my love for reading my mind and understanding me even if many times my lips don't let out the words you expect to hear...
