Paradise

Paradise was really nice
I would dip into it's waters and feel happier
than i've ever felt in a while. 
I'd close my eyes and envision it's sands. 
caressing my back as I lie in a trance. 
It knew just what to do to make me 
want to come back.
After a stressful day all I ever wanted
was to run away to paradise.
Paradise was really nice. 
I soaked my feet in it's waters
nearly drowning by it's current 
But it was always fun no matter 
how I compromised myself
I got a warm feeling like the 
sun beating down on my chest
Whenever I was away from 
that Paradise I would wish
I could return. 
Paradise. It was nice. 
But now i'm back.
the vacation has ended.
though it's sad to 
leave...
my life is filled with paradises
This was just one island. 
Paradise.
