Great Dunes - Emily Ritz

Like the great dunes

Beautiful but in the wrong place

Our love came too soon

Built to bloom but not built to stay

My eyes full mooned

Then the light made you look away

If I give you room

Will you see there may not come a day

To try to love again

To try to love again

To try to love again

Like the hot spring

Stay too long a fever’s comin on

Dizzy I try standing

In body and heart I don’t feel strong

Flying with one wing

The distance feels impossibly long

Is this all you could bring

A 'sorry' and an 'I know I was wrong'

To try to love again

To try to love again

To try to love again

Like the valley

I don’t know what’s on the other side

I sure did not see

How ready I was to love, to collide

To try to love again

To try to love again

To try to love again
