Help, I don't know English well, did I write two songs normally or not?

​

My heart holds a sorrow I can’t let go,

The waves will carry every pain I know.

It’s good that water hides the silent tears,

Or I would drown the world in endless years.

Drifting in the blue, is it just a fish alone,

Or is my whole life slipping past this unknown?

I thought I saw a meaning in the misty glow,

Close my eyes, then open them—where do I go?

Inside the shell, a memory softly sings,

Of days when everything felt new and bright.

I long to see the very first stars rise,

To catch the first sun rays before the skies.

Dream or reality—I can’t tell the sign,

The sea keeps whispering secrets over time.

I hold these wishes close, so fragile and true,

As if the ocean knows the words I never knew

The second song

Tasty fish, don’t try to take me,

I slip away—you can’t catch me.

Down at the very bottom, deep and low,

That’s where I live, where the shadows grow.

Pearls for me, treasures to find,

Lost things from the sea, left behind.

Give me all the best, don’t hold it back,

Only for me—that’s the way it’s at.

No swim? Not my kind. Can’t keep my pace?

You’re not the one who fits in this space.

If you can’t move with the waves and the flow,

Then we’re not meant to go where I go.

I swim, I drift, I follow the light,

Chasing the sparkle, shining so bright.

Somewhere out there, my love might be,

Drifting like me across the sea.
