How I wish you were brave.

You are kind
like the place that made us
and the sea that hugged us
and the nights that brought us
together

but how I wish you were brave

Kind like the time that shaped us
brave like the rocks that held us

Soft like the summer evening wind 
brave like the summer heat

Soft like your touch
and brave to meet

You are clever enough to know 
but how I wish you were brave

Simple in that way
how I wish you were brave
