A poem using a line from the song At the Beginning from the movie Anastasia.
Truth or Dare

Truth.
I wanted something simple
It didn't have to be true
I wanted somebody
It didn't have to be you

Truth.
I needed you to be there
I needed you to care
I needed you to stay
And not vanish into thin air.

Truth.
I didn't want to cross the river.
I couldn't even if I tried.
That's a river I want to keep flowing.
And if I'd crossed, it would have died.

Dare.
I need you to cross that river.
While you still shake and shiver.
I'm still waiting on the other side.

Truth.
Love is a river I want to keep flowing.
Your wave is gone, but the current keeps going.
I'm on a boat, and I'm going to keep rowing.
We're done.
Thank you.
Goodbye.





The line "Love is a river I want to keep flowing" is from the song "At the Beginning" in the Disney movie Anastasia.
