Just Me and You
by Poetic Rizz
Original poem "If I Was" by Stacey Lory
Poetry Now Version
If I were a stream,
flowing towards the sea,
you’d be the current,
guiding my journey.
If I were a seed,
hidden in winter’s embrace,
you’d be the sunlight,
urging me to rise and face.
If I were a spark,
in the stillness of night,
you’d be the flame,
making everything bright.
If I were a ship,
battling storms at sea,
you’d be the lighthouse,
showing me where to be.
But I'm none of those things—
just a person standing tall.
And in this clarity,
I see you’re my all.
— Poetic Rizz
Original Poem
If I was a stream
Searching for the ocean
You would be my current
Keeping me in motion.
If I was a seed
Buried in the snow
You would be my sunlight
Helping me to grow.
If I was a spark
In the middle of the night
You would be my flame
Keeping me alight.
If I were a ship
On a stormy morning
You would be my lighthouse
Flashing me warning.
But I'm not a stream
Spark, ship, or seed
I am a person
And it's you that I need.
I do not need a current
Lighthouse, flame, or the sun
All I need is love
And for me, you are the one.
