That said…

When We Were Mermaids

Two little girls, swimming, swimming We’re mermaids, we’d say Mermaids don’t wear bathing suits So we pulled our tops down to our waists We felt only freedom Even after we got caught and scolded Shame couldn’t thrive in those sunlit waters Mermaids don’t have regrets Dripping wet we’d hide in…
