Mermaids

Blinded because of the sea
surrounded by some beach trees
looking deeo inside I could see
some mermaids staring at me

''Oh my dear what do you desire?''
a love that could light up a fire
that will resist the strongest storm
and still keep me warm

One of them grabbed me by the hand
''not even in the farthest sealand
you will find a love that could stand
and you probably will never understand''

As she told me that
the sun began to rise
but luckily I wasn't sad
because I truly believe
my mermaid is out there
somewhere.
