Dew

I guess this is partly inspired by the poem (love song, with two goldfish) by Grace Chua. That poem was on an IB test... inspiration comes in surprising place.

Dew
He's on the road
She, on the grass
She is dancing
He, running fast

The sun tiptoes
Into the sky
They're already up
Heaven knows why

She spins and spins
One leg in air
Fairy arms outstretched
Young skin so fair

He runs so quickly
Round the block
But if he were
To stop and walk

That girl could win him
With her grace
And he would run some more
Just to chase

That tulip skirt
Her scent of rose
For when she dances
Her spirit shows

And so she'll dance
A little more
And soon
She's what he's running for

The long, soft grass
Beneath their feet
And neither cares
To sleep or eat

Together for
One day
One night
When he wakes up
She's wearing white

His dreams turn into
Little drops
And for one moment
He finally stops

"I plan to live
My life for you
Do you for me?"
And she
"I dew"
