I wish I was a speckled trout

Swimming upstream

And you were fishing after me

Instead I’m on the shore

Holding a rod

Maybe I’d catch something 

If I wasn’t so concerned

With the beer in my hand

Or where the horse flies land

Or how a mosquito is trying to suck my blood’

I’m not a subsistence fisher

So I guess it’s alright 

I’d better just enjoy the moment 

But still I find myself 

Wishing I was some sort of trout

That you caught swimming upstream 

Rainbow or speckled 

I’d still be in your net

You’ve got me hooked by the cheek

I’m caught, trying to speak

“Hi”

Or “Hey”

It’s funny how you caught me on this day.

Hey.

No quotations

Because I‘m hoping

This one word

Precedes your own “Heyy”

Let’s get lost in each other’s arms

Let’s get lost in each other’s…

“Hey”

Is just text on a screen

But from the right person

It ignites fireworks
