To a Beautiful Girl

The wind does not stop blowing
if you refuse to fly your kite.
If you stay out past your bedtime
the day still turns to night.

If you only swim for moments
you don’t get slightly wet.
If you say goodbye and mean it,
it won’t mean we never met.

Go tell the waves to wait for you
but watch out for the tide.
A mask is just another face.
It’s not a place to hide.

Right now the wind is roaring
so I choose to fly my kite!
I know one day I’ll lose it
but the thrill is in the fight.
