Tell me then

When water flows We stare

Cannot stop the flow 

Without questions we let go

Walk across if possible

Like fish we swim along

Now I'm human why would I 

I can only stand and watch

Wash my feet as it flows by

My hands maybe or my face

I cannot swim though 

I'm not fish I cannot swim along

Why then tell me

If it rains I hide to be dry

When lightning strikes I shade

Towards darkness I go

Without you then why I should I now

I have learned to let you flow

Let new fish species enjoy themselves

Cannot stop them only you can

You decided to flow while I stood

Tell me Why should I 

Asking you to stop is silly

With peace I watch you flow

New swimming with your heart

Becoming a life guard is funny

Asking you not too 

Eventually You fled

What can I say then your choice

Tell me why then

Won't run after you

Cannot even hear my cries

Not even tears felt in your heart

You wanted to flow so why should I

Will not stop you 

Rather wash my hands and feet

Let you flow with fish 

Like ponds you are always full

Unlike me you live

I'm woman and can also swim

But like dog I choose not too

Swim and enjoy the sun

I will not stop you 

Why should I 

Tell me why then
