Spin with me
at the beach
with your feet in the water
the sea kissing your ankles
the sand touching your toes
forget your woes

Dance with me
at the park
with the grass tickling your calves
with the sky watching over you
the stars blinking in your eyes
forget all those lies

Walk with me
in the early early morning
with the sun peeking surreptitiously
the sky blushing ferociously
the birds flirting in its wake
forget all the ache

Drive with me
late in the evening
with the world blurring by us
and the lights winking gleefully
the moon playing hide and seek
forget you’re weak

Stand with me
on the roof of a tall building
with the city spread below you
and its colours like a painting
the wind blowing your hair
forget that you even care
