I was once invited to go to the ocean,
By what I thought was the most amazing girl you could meet.
I didn't want to go to the ocean though.
Instead, I let her go to the ocean.
To be caught by another casting.
To be reeled up by someone looking for a catch.
It was tough for me to untangle the hook,
But with success I did, and let the fish flop
Back into the water.
Into the vastness of the sea.
Perhaps it wasn't her I let go,
But I let go of myself
