The Fish You Don't Catch

I found a fishy in the sea
And every time I try to catch it
It swims away from me
Now I must admit
I’m a tad confused
Cause normally
The fishes chase me like I’m food
But not this fish
It’s smart
It’s quick
I keep trying to catch it
But I miss
This fish doesn’t like me
That’s why I want it
And it’s sad to know
Another fisherman will  catch it
Just to destroy its glow
Throw it back into the sea
And alone is where the fish will  be
But this fish it blind
It cannot see
So it will never swim it’s way too me.

I made this poem from the famous quote "there's other fish in the sea" which I made my own quote " if I could catch every fish in the sea, I would never go fishing" because I constantly here you can have anybody you want. If that true finding someone will be fun, easy or even real. But it's not true there is always that one fish who you Want but never wants you.
And more then likely your that fish to somebody else.
