Salt

And you always were
The salt of my life
Sunlight would shine through
The white crystal that was you
And split into a million different colors
Because every rainbow I ever saw
I saw with you
Strange waters would come
And flow right through you
Your light would go away
And the water would flow
As tears through me
Then some day my tears would dry
You would smile and laugh and teach me
That salt can be made salty again
