The Life we Live

It happened again today. I was going to write a simple and short poem, but somehow, it got long and complicated. Don’t ask me what I was thinking. LOL. I don’t think I can answer that anyway.

Take a look.

_{Hello, stranger
Surprised I’m writing to you today?
I know
I don’t understand myself
Perhaps I need to get it all out}

_{Remember the day I met you?
I was sitting on a beach
My legs buried deep into the soil
My hair flying around my face
Away from the world, away from distractions}

_{Solitude, the say
I love the stillness of it
At least I used to
Till you walked up to me
Smiling down with amusement}

_{I never talked about that day
Why I wanted everything gone
I recall your alarmed look at the stones
I had filled my pockets with them
Waiting for the waves to come}

_{You saved me from myself
And from the ugly demons
Threatening to swallow me alive
You held my hand when they reared their heads
Day after day}

_{I waited for your judgement but it didn’t come
I stopped fighting them alone
Because you were there
You showed me the bright side
And encouraged my baby steps}

_{Hello, my love
I’m back on the beach
Neither sitting nor leaving my hair untamed
Today, I’m standing
Staring at the waves
Wishing you had lived a while longer}
